Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!

Jude is placing boxes on a shelf that holds up to 80 lb. He has x small boxes that weigh 5 lb each and y large boxes that weigh 12 lb each. Jude needs at least 4 small boxes on the shelf.

Select ALL inequalities that model this situation.

Answer 1

Hey!

Weight of small box = 5 lb. x no. of small boxes total weight = 5*x

Weight of Large boxes = 12 lb. y no. of large boxes total weight = 12*y

Total weight = 5x + 12y.

Since total weight carrying capacity of shelf is 80, thus the inequality becomes:

5x + 12y Less than or equal to 80.

(a) satisfies the inequality.

(b) satisfies the inequality.

Hope my answer helps!
