Four friends are working to solve the system of inequalities y>5x and x≥9. Izabella substitutes 9 for x and then concludes that y≥45, but her friends disagree. Each friend presents an argument to explain his or her reasoning. Part A: Whose argument is correct? Part B: What is the correct solution? Select one answer for Part A and one answer for Part B. A: Ellis argues that because a solution must satisfy both equations, Izabella’s conclusion is incorrect. For example, if x=9, y must be greater than 5x, or 45. Thus, y≥45 cannot be the solution.
A: Maud argues that Izabella made a mistake in her substitution. She should have substituted 9 for y. This would give her 95>x. Thus, y≥45 cannot be the solution.
B: y≥45
A: Izabella’s argument is, in fact, correct.
B: x<95
A: Greyson argues that substitution is not a valid solution method for this problem. He claims that the only way to solve this problem is to graph it. Thus, y≥45 cannot be the solution.
B: y>45
B: The solution cannot be determined.

Astudent is determining the influence of different types of food on the growth rate of spiders. she feeds one group of spiders two caterpillars twice a week. the other group received similarly-sized beetles twice a week. she records the amount of time required for individuals to reach sexual maturity. her hypothesis is that the spiders feeding on caterpillars will have a faster growth rate because caterpillars have a higher protein content compared to beetles. in this experiment, what is the dependent variable? spiders assigned to different feeding groups. time required to reach sexual maturity number of prey items fed twice a week. growth rates of each group.
