Question

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!! Georgia is a farmer and wants to plant a crop of tomato plants so she can sell her crop at the local farmer's market. She already has a large number of plants cultivated from last year's harvest. Each should produce an average of 35 tomatoes per plant during the growing season. She has found a nursery to buy more tomato plants at which are a different type. She found that these tomato plants will cost $5.25 each and should produce 25 tomatoes per plant on average over the course of the growing season. When planting, she wants to arrange the plants so that there are 5 fewer plants in each column than there are in each row. Georgia can spend no more than $500 on the tomato plants. In order to meet customer demands, she needs to produce at least 5,000 tomatoes during the growing season. Let x represent the number of plants in a row, and let y represent the number of plants that Georgia already has. Create a system of inequalities to find the number of plants in a row and the number of plants Georgia already has, and use it to determine how many of the solutions are viable.

A. Part of the solution region includes a negative number of tomato plants in a row; therefore, not all solutions are viable for the given situation.

B. There is no solution region.

C. None of the solution region is viable because there cannot be a negative number of tomato plants in a row and she can not have a negative number of tomato plants already on hand.

D. The entire solution region is viable.
