The linear combination method is applied to a system of equations as shown.

4(.25x + .5y = 3.75) → x + 2y = 15

(4x – 8y = 12) → x – 2y = 3

2x = 18

what is the solution of the system of equations?

a. (1,2)
b. (3,9)
c. (5,5)
d. (9,3)

Tom is the deli manager at a grocery store. he needs to schedule employee to staff the deli department for no more that 260 person-hours per week. tom has one part-time employee who works 20 person-hours per week. each full-time employee works 40 person-hours per week. write and inequality to determine n, the number of full-time employees tom may schedule, so that his employees work on more than 260 person-hours per week. graph the solution set to this inequality.
