Let us define variables:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x\"= number of adults who purchased tickets
\n" ); document.write( "\"y\"= number of children who had tickets
\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( "\"250x\"= amount (in pesos) collected for all the adult tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( "\"200y\"= amount (in pesos) collected for all the children tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( "Since \"more than \"150\" adults and children\" watched the plane, \"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By%3E150\"
\n" ); document.write( "Since \"The sponsor of the show collected a total amount of not more than \"44000\" pesos\",
\n" ); document.write( "\"250x%2B200y%3C=44000\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "a. The mathematical statement (or statements) the represent the given situation is (or are)
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By%3E150\" .....eq.1
\n" ); document.write( "\"250x%2B200y%3C=44000%29\" ......eq.2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "b. To graph an inequality, such as \"x%2By%3E150\" , you draw boundary lines for the region that is the solution, and color or shade the region that is the solution.
\n" ); document.write( "You draw a solid line when the points on that line are part of the solution.
\n" ); document.write( "You draw a dashed line when the points on that line are not part of the solution.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To determine the line you need to points.
\n" ); document.write( "For example, for the line \"x%2By=150\" (boundary line for \"x%2By%3E150\" ),
\n" ); document.write( "you can use the points (\"0\",\"150\") and (\"150\",\"0\").
\n" ); document.write( "You get by (\"0\",\"150\") by choosing \"x=0\" and solving \"0%2By=150\"<--->\"y=150\" for \"y\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You get by (\"150\",\"0\") by choosing \"y=0\" and solving \"x%2B0=150\"<--->\"x=150\" for \"x\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "After drawing the line, you decide which side of the line is the solution.
\n" ); document.write( "For example, for \"x%2By%3E150\" , you know that the side containing point (0,0) is not part of the solution, because
\n" ); document.write( "plugging \"system%28x=0%2C+y=0%29\" into \"x%2By%3E150\" makes \"0%2B0%3E150\" which is \"not\" true.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "On the other hand, point (\"100\",\"100\") is part \"of\" the solution, because
\n" ); document.write( "plugging \"x=100\", \"y=100%29\" into \"x%2By%3E150\" makes \"100%2B100%3E150\" which \"is\" true.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The graph for \"x%2By%3E150\" would be the region colored in the graph below.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The graph for \"250x%2B200y%3C=44000\" would be the region colored in the graph below.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For your solution, graph you want to merge the two graph.
\n" ); document.write( "You also would like to show that the values for \"x\" and \"y\" cannot be negative,so the solution region is the \"region\" \"inside\" the quadrilateral below, plus the solid boundary lines.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "c. Any point in the solution region is a solution.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For example, if \"100+\"adults buy tickets
\n" ); document.write( "\"100%2By%3E150\"--->\"y%3E150-50\" means more than \"50\" children attended.
\n" ); document.write( "\"250%2A100%2B200y%3C=44000\"--->\"y%3C=95\" means no more than 95 children attended.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The point P(\"100\",\"95\"), meaning \"100\" adults and \"95\" children, is on a solid boundary line and is part of the solution.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
