An answer to the three questions asked about given real-world situation.
An application of the given situation to the following two scenarios:
The Burbank Buy More store is going to make an order which will include at most 60 refrigerators. What is the maximum number of TVs which could also be delivered on the same 18-wheeler? Describe the restrictions this would add to the existing graph.
The next day, the Burbank Buy More decides they will have a television sale so they change their order to include at least 200 TVs. What is the maximum number of refrigerators which could also be delivered in the same truck? Describe the restrictions this would add to the original graph.
An incorporation of the following math vocabulary words into your discussion. Use bold font to emphasize the words in your writing (Do not write definitions for the words; use them appropriately in sentences describing your math work.):
Solid line
Dashed line
Parallel
Linear inequality
Test point
• Shipping restrictions. The accompanying graph shows all of the possibilities for the number of refrigerators and the number of TVs that will fit into an 18-wheeler.
a) Write an inequality to describe this region.
b) Will the truck hold 71 refrigerators and 118 TVs?
c) Will the truck hold 51 refrigerators and 176 TVs?
