Question
or a class he is taking, Jayson has to complete at least 35 h of volunteer work. He has already completed 7 h at the food bank. He wants to finish his hours at a local animal shelter, where all the shifts are 4 h long.Which of the following inequalities expresses the number of shifts that Jayson needs to volunteer for to complete his class?a bc d
Solution
First, we need to determine how many hours Jayson still needs to volunteer to meet his requirement. He needs to complete 35 hours and has already done 7 hours. So, he still needs to do 35 - 7 = 28 hours of volunteer work.
Since each shift at the animal shelter is 4 hours long, we can represent the number of shifts he needs to work as x. Therefore, the inequality that represents the number of shifts Jayson needs to volunteer for to complete his class is 4x ≥ 28.
This means Jayson needs to work at least 7 shifts at the animal shelter to meet his requirement (since 28 divided by 4 equals 7).

To solve this problem, we need to translate the given information into inequalities and then graph these inequalities on the coordinate plane provided. Felipe exercises for at least 10 hours a week. This means the total time spent on cardiovascular work (x) and weight training (y) must be equal to or greater than 10 hours. This can be represented by the inequality: \[ x + y \geq 10 \] Felipe spends at most 6 hours on weight training. This means the time spent on weight training (y) must be equal to or less than 6 hours. This can be represented by the inequality: \[ y \leq 6 \] Since Felipe cannot spend negative time on either activity, we also have two more inequalities: \[ x \geq 0 \] \[ y \geq 0 \] Now, let's graph these inequalities on the coordinate plane: 1. The inequality \( x + y \geq 10 \) represents a line that passes through the points (10,0) and (0,10). We will draw this line and shade the region above it since we want the sum of x and y to be greater than or equal to 10. 2. The inequality \( y \leq 6 \) represents a horizontal line that passes through the point (0,6) on the y-axis. We will draw this line and shade the region below it since y must be less than or equal to 6. 3. The inequalities \( x \geq 0 \) and \( y \geq 0 \) indicate that we are only considering the first quadrant of the coordinate plane where both x and y are non-negative. The region that satisfies all these requirements will be the intersection of the shaded regions. Since I cannot physically shade the graph for you, you will need to do this on your own graph. The region you should shade is the one that is above the line \( x + y = 10 \), below the line \( y = 6 \), and to the right of the y-axis (since x must be non-negative). This will form a triangular region in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane.
A woodworking artist makes two types of carvings: type X and type Y. He spends 3 hours making each type X carving and 2 hours making each type Y carving, and he can spend up to 30 hours each week making carvings. His materials cost him $5 for each type X carving and $7 for each type Y carving, and he must keep his weekly cost for materials to $105 or less. If x is the number of type X carvings he makes in a week and y is the number of type Y carvings he makes in a week, which of the following systems of inequalities models this situation?A.3x + 2y ≥ 30, 5x + 7y ≥ 105B.3x + 2y ≥ 30, 5x + 7y ≤ 105C.3x + 2y ≤ 30, 5x + 7y ≤ 105D.3x + 2y ≤ 30, 5x + 7y ≥ 105SUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS
