You can put this solution on YOUR website!
logically, if the raft holds at most 8 people and a guide and 2 people are already on the craft, then 3 people are already on the craft and at most 5 more people can board the raft.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "algebraically you might solve it as follows:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let x = the number of people who are already on the raft.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let y = the additional number of people who can board the raft.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "formula would be y <= 8 - x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your additional requirement would have to be be y >= 0, or x <= 8.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that would be your equation and your answer would depend on the value of x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when x is 0, y <= 8 - 0 becomes y <= 8.
\n" ); document.write( "when x is 3, y <= 8 - 3 becomes y <= 5.
\n" ); document.write( "when x is 8, y <= 8 - 8 becomes y <= 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "but y can't be < 0, so y can only be equal to 0 in that case.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
