An Indiana corn grower has 1000 bushels of corn that are to be divided between markets in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. These two markets need at least 100 bushels and 300 bushels. Determine the system of inequalities that describes this situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent amounts to be taken to Indianapolis and Ft. Wayne, respectively. Then you have ...

  x + y = 1000 . . . . . . 1000 bushels are to be divided between 2 markets

  x ≥ 100 . . . . . . . . . . Indianapolis needs at least 100 bushels

  y ≥ 300 . . . . . . . . .  Fort Wayne needs at least 300 bushels

 x + y = 1000   This could be x + y ≤ 1000 depending on how you interpret the distribution. (The markets might not need all )

x ≥ 100 We'll say this is Indianapolis needing a minimum of 100 bushels

y ≥ 300 This is Ft.Wayne needing a minimum of 300 bushels

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution could be anything within the darkest shaded area in the attached graph.

For example, if Indianapolis takes only 100 bu, Ft.Wayne could get up to 900bu. If Ft. Wayne takes 300bu, Indy could get up to 700bu.

Or they could each take 500, and the farmer has none left, or they could each take their minimum plus 100 (200 + 400) and the farmer has 600bu left

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
