Question

sylvia spends $50 at the craft show on candles and ornaments. the candles cost $5 each, and the ornaments cost $7 each. sylvia buys a total of 8 items at the craft show
let ( x = ) number of candles and ( y = ) number of ornaments. which of the following statements is true?
(1 point)
the inequality that represents the constraint on the number of candles is ( x geq 0 ) and on the number of ornaments is ( y geq 0 ) because there cannot be a negative number of candles or ornaments.
the inequality that represents the constraint on the number of candles is ( x leq 8 ) and on the number of ornaments is ( y leq 8 ) because the candles and ornaments together cannot be more than 8 items.
the inequality that represents the constraint on the number of candles is ( x > 0 ) and on the number of ornaments is ( y > 0 ) because there must be a positive number of candles or ornaments.
the inequality that represents the constraint on number of candles is ( 0 leq x < 8 ) and on the number of ornaments is ( 0 leq y leq 8 ) because there cannot be a negative number of candles or ornaments and the candles and ornaments together cannot be more than 8 items.

Explanation:

Answer:

The inequality that represents the constraint on the number of candles is \( x \geq 0 \) and on the number of ornaments is \( y \geq 0 \) because there cannot be a negative number of candles or ornaments.
