!

Darren is training for a triathlon. Each week, he goes to the gym for a maximum of 20 hours. He spends at least 8 of those hours weightlifting (x). He wants to spend no more than 15 hours doing cardio exercises (y). Write a system of linear inequalities that represents the restrictions of this scenario.

Answer 1

The graph of the equations was plotted using geogebra graphing and attached.

Let x represent the hours weightlifting and y represent the hours doing cardio exercises.

Since he spend a maximum of 20 hours, hence:

x + y ≤ 20   (1)

Also, he spends at least 8 of those hours weightlifting, hence:

x ≥ 8          (2)

He wants to spend no more than 15 hours doing cardio exercises, this is:

y ≤ 15     (3)
