Question 173724: Hi,
I nedd to write an inquality to represent the following condition.
A landscaper architect wants her project to use at most 110 gallons of water per day.Each shrub requires 1 gallon of water and each tree requires 3 gallons of water per day. Let x=number of shrubs, and y=number of trees. Write an inequality that says that the plants chosen will not meet the landscapers water limit.
My answer is: x+3y<=110
Can someone let me know if this is the correct answer.
Thanks
