Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!! I CANNOT RETAKE THIS!!

A comedian needs up to ten volunteers for a show. He needs no fewer than four female volunteers.

Let x represent the number of female volunteers and y represent the number of male volunteers.

Select all inequalities that model this situation.

Answer 1

B- x + y ≤ 10

; and D- x ≥ 4

Explanation: The illusionist needs at least 4 female volunteers.  This means he could use 4 or more; this means x, the number of female volunteers, is greater than or equal to 4:

x ≥ 4

The total of number of volunteers needed is up to 10.  This means the illusionist can use 10 or fewer people; this means the total is less than or equal to 10.

The number of female volunteers is x and the number of male volunteers is y; together they create the expression x+y.  This gives us

x+y ≤ 10
