Question

select the correct answer.

sam is an artist, and he wants to purchase frames to display his work at home. he wants to frame no fewer than 10 of his pieces and spend no more than $225. large frames cost $24, and medium frames cost $18.

which system of inequalities can sam use to determine the number of large frames, \\(x\\), and medium frames, \\(y\\), that he can purchase?

\\(\

$$\begin{aligned} &18x + 24y \\le 225 \\\\ &x + y \\ge 10 \\end{aligned}$$

\\)

\\(\

$$\begin{aligned} &24x + 18y \\ge 225 \\\\ &x + y \\le 10 \\end{aligned}$$

\\)

\\(\

$$\begin{aligned} &18x + 24y \\ge 225 \\\\ &x + y \\le 10 \\end{aligned}$$

\\)

\\(\

$$\begin{aligned} &24x + 18y \\le 225 \\\\ &x + y \\ge 10 \\end{aligned}$$

Answer:

  • (A) \(18x + 24y \le 225\)

\(x + y \ge 10\)

  • (B) \(24x + 18y \ge 225\)

\(x + y \le 10\)

  • (C) \(18x + 24y \ge 225\)

\(x + y \le 10\)

  • **(D) \(24x + 18y \le 225\)

\(x + y \ge 10\) (Correct answer)**
