A farmer wants to plant peas and carrots on no more than 400 acres of his farm. If x represents the number of acres of peas and y represents the number of acres of carrots for solution (x, y), then which is a viable solution?

Group of answer choices

(−125, 500)

(250, 150)

(400, −10)

(1, 400)

Answer 1

Answer:

  (250, 150)

Step-by-step explanation:

The acreage cannot be negative, so choices A and C are eliminated. The sum of acreages cannot exceed 400, so choice D is eliminated.

Choice B has the allotted acreages total exactly 400, which is within the farmer's limit.

  (250, 150) is a viable solution
