Solution Sets to Inequalities with Two Variables
Stacy's mom is baking treats for Stacy's birthday party. She has 9 eggs to
use for this purpose. A batch of cookies requires one egg and a batch of
brownies requires 2 eggs. How many of each treat can Stacy's mom
bake? Write an inequality to represent the situation.

Respuesta :

An inequality gives a comparison between values that are not exactly (or all the time) equal

The inequality that represent the number of each treat Stacy's mom can bake is x + 2·y ≤ 9

The reason the above value is correct is presented as follows:

The given parameters are;

The number of eggs Stacy's mom has = 9 eggs

The number of eggs required for each batch of cookies = 1 egg

The number of eggs required for each batch of brownie = 2 eggs

Let x, and y represent the number of batches of cookies and brownies Stacy's mom bakes respectively, we have;

The number of eggs used is x + 2·y ≤ 9

Therefore, Stacy's mom can bake x + y number of treat, where;

x + 2·y ≤ 9

Where 3 batches of brownies are baked, we can have;

x + 2×3 ≤ 9

x ≤ 3

The number of cookies that can be baked is 3 batches
