Mr. Garcia has been asked to give 6 desks to Mrs. Johnson. He needs to keep at least 17 desks for his students. He created a model to find x, the number of desks he must have in order to give 6 desks to Mrs. Johnson. Which inequality represents the model for this situation?

The inequality which represents the model for this situation is .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mr. Garcia has number of desks initially.

He has been asked to give desks to Mrs. Johnson.

Also, he needs to keep at least desks for his students.

So, after giving desks to Mrs. Johnson from the total number of desks he has, he must have at least desks for his students.

Therefore, the inequality is: .

Hence, the inequality which represents the model for this situation is .

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
