Flowers. Which graph represents the solution to the problem?

Sarah is buying roses and carnations to make center pieces for prom Roses x cos 3 each and carnations y cost 1 each She can spend no more than 75 on the Flowers class=

Respuesta :

Answer: Third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the variables:

x =  number of roses that Sarah buys

y = number of carnations that Sarah buys.

Each rose costs $3, then the price for x roses is: x*$3.

Each carnation costs $1, then the price for y carnations is: y*$1.

The total price will be:

$3*x + $1*y

And she can spend no more than $75, then we have the inequality:

$3*x + $1*y ≤ $75

Writing this as a line, we have:

y ≤ 75 - 3*x

Then the graph of this will be:

A solid line with a negative slope and the shaded part will be below that line.

The value of y goes between 0 and 75.

The value x goes between 0 and the value of x such y = 0, this is:

y = 0 ≤ 75 - 3*x

 3*x ≤ 75

     x ≤ 75/3 = 25

Then the value of x goes between 0 and 25.

The correct option will be the third one.

The correct graph is option 3.

Given,

Sarah buys x no. of roses and y no. of carnations.

The cost of each roses be $3, so cost of x roses be 3 x .

And the cost of each carnations be $1, so cost of y carnations be y.

The total cost will be  [tex]3x + y.[/tex]

But as given in question she can spend no more than $75, so we have the inequality  [tex]3x + y \leq 75[/tex].

Writing the above equation as a line we have  [tex]y\leq 75-3x[/tex].

So graph of above line will be a solid line with a negative slope and the shaded part will be below that line so the value of y goes in between 0 and 75.

Now, value of x when y is o will be calculated from  [tex]y\leq 75-3x[/tex].

[tex]0\leq 75-3x[/tex]

[tex]3x\leq 75[/tex]

[tex]x\leq \frac{75}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x\leq 25[/tex]

Now we have values of x in between 0 and 25.

here we have y in between 0 and 75 with a negative slope and x in between 0 and 25. so the shaded part will be below that line goes in between 0 and 75 on y axis . option 3 has shaded part in between 0 and 75 on y axis  so the correct option is 3.
