document.write( "Question 1152496: Dry Boat Works wholesales aluminum boats for $200 and fiberglass boats for $150. Northland Marina wants to order at least $600 worth but no more than $1,200 worth of boats from them. Graph a system of inequalities that will show the possible combinations of the number of aluminum boats (x) and the number of fiberglass boats (y) that can be ordered.

Algebra.Com's Answer #774523 by Theo(13342) You can put this solution on YOUR website! here's the graph.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "anything in the area that's not shaded is possible. \n" ); document.write( "also anything on the lines that enclose the non shaded area are posible since the inequality includes equal as well (<= not <)(>= not >). \n" ); document.write( "the points that fit the requirements have been noted. \n" ); document.write( "they are shown in (x,y) format. \n" ); document.write( "the inequality is 600 <= 200x + 150y <= 1200 \n" ); document.write( "for example, the point (3,4) is possible since 200 * 3 + 150 * 4 = 600 + 600 = 1200 which is the upper limit of what's possible. \n" ); document.write( "likewise, the point (0,4) is possible since 200 * 0 + 150 * 4 = 600 which is the lower limit possible. \n" ); document.write( "likewise, the point (2,4) is possible since 200 * 2 + 150 * 4 = 400 + 600 = 1000 which is above 600 and less than 1200. \n" ); document.write( "the value of x and y have to be integers since only whole boats can be sold.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
