Question
nina is assembling centerpieces that use candles. a small centerpiece uses 2 candles and a large centerpiece uses 5 candles. nina is limited to using 39 candles, the number on hand. write the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. use the given numbers and the following variables. x = the number of small centerpieces y = the number of large centerpieces
Step1: Definir variables y consumo de velas
Sea \( x \) el número de centro de mesa pequeños (usa 2 velas cada uno) y \( y \) el número de centro de mesa grandes (usa 5 velas cada uno). El total de velas usadas es \( 2x + 5y \).
Step2: Establecer la desigualdad
Nina tiene un máximo de 39 velas, así que el total de velas usadas no puede exceder 39. Entonces, la desigualdad es \( 2x + 5y \leq 39 \).
