Q:

Jess will plant up to 27 acres on her farm with wheat and corn. More than 5 acres will be planted with wheat.Let w represent the number of acres of wheat and c represent the number of acres of corn. Identify two inequalities that represent this situation. A. w > 5 B. w + c ≤ 27 C. w – c ≤ 27 D. c < 5

Accepted Solution

A:
The first thing we do in these cases is to define the variables.
 We have then:
 w = represent the number of acres of wheat
 c = represent the number of acres of corn
 We write now the inequalities based is:
 "Jess will plant up to 27 acres on her farm with wheat and corn"
 w + c <= 27
 "More than 5 acres will be planted with wheat"
 w> 5
 Answer:
 two inequalities that represent this situation are:
 w + c <= 27
 w> 5
