Question

A basket holds at most 16 pounds of apples and oranges. There are at least 10 pounds of oranges in the basket. This graph shows the system that represents this scenario, where x is the weight of the apples and y is the weight of the oranges.

Which point represents a viable solution?

Answer 1

The answer is (3,12) *apex

Answer 2

Answer:

The point which is a viable solution is:

(3,12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x is the weight of the apples and y is the weight of the oranges.

• A basket holds at most 16 pounds of apples and oranges.

              This means that:

             x+y≤16

• There are at least 10 pounds of oranges in the basket.

           This means that:

              y≥10.

The viable solution is the means that our result is a possible solution to the question being asked.

So, from the given option we will check which point will lie in the feasible region of the system of inequalities.

The solution that lie in the feasible region is (3,12).
