Rashaad has
x
x dimes and
y
y nickels, having no less than 18 coins worth at most $1.50 combined. At least 4 of the coins are dimes. Solve this system of inequalities graphically and determine one possible solution.

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • see attached for a graph
  • 4 dimes, 22 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to solve graphically the system of inequalities expressing that Rashaad has no less than a total of 18 dimes (x) and nickels (y) with a combined value of at most $1.50, of which at least 4 are dimes.

Inequalities

An inequality can be written for each of the constraints:

  x + y ≥ 18 . . . . . . . no less than 18 coins

  0.10x +0.05y ≤ 1.50 . . . . . . at most $1.50 in value

  x ≥ 4 . . . . . . . . . . at least 4 dimes

Graph

A graph of these inequalities is attached. The marked points are the vertices of the triangular solution space. Each is a possible solution, along with all of the grid points inside the triangle.

One possible solution is 4 dimes and 22 nickels, for a total of 26 coins with a value of $1.50.

Using graph to solve the system of linear inequality the most likely solutions will be 4 dimes and 22 nickels, for a total of 26 coins with a value of $1.50

What is System of Linear Inequality

Systems of linear inequalities are equations with two or more linear inequalities that contain two or more variables. These equations can be used to represent real-world problems and to find the solutions of such problems. The solutions of a system of linear inequalities are all the points that are common to all of the linear inequalities in the system.

In this problem, we have to define our variables and then solve this using graphical method. The point of intersection between the two lines lies the solution to the linear inequality.

Let;

  • x = dimes
  • y = nickel

x + y ≥ 18

0.1x + 0.05y ≤ 1.50

x ≥4

Using a graphing calculator to solve this,

The possible solutions is 4 dimes and 22 nickels, for a total of 26 coins with a value of $1.50.
