A table showing Ounces, Price per Ounce, and Total Cost. The first row shows Coconut Oil, with the entries, 6, $0.50, and a. The second row shows Beeswax, with the entries 5, $2.00, and b. The last row shows Mixture, with the entries 11, blank, blank. A homemade lip balm consists of coconut oil and beeswax. Coconut oil costs $0.50 per ounce and beeswax costs $2.00 per ounce. If 6 ounces of coconut oil and 5 ounces of beeswax are used to create the lip balm mixture, which values represent a and b in the table?

the system of inequity is

step-by-step explanation:

from the given graph it is noticed that we have two related lines. one is solid and another is dashed.

if a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

the solid line passing through the points (0,4) and (4,0).

the related equation of solid line is .

similarly, find the related equation of dashed line. the dashed liune passing through the points (0,0) and (3,1).

the related equation of dashed line is

from the given graph it is noticed that the point (0,1) lies on the shaded region, therefore the point (0,1) must be satisfied by the related equations.

check the related equations by the point (0,1).

this statement is true if the sign of inequality is < instead of equality. since it is an solid line therefore the sign of inequality will be . the required inequality is

similarly, check the second related equation.

it is a dashed line, so this statement is true if the sign of inequality is > . the required inequality is

60: 45 =12: 9 =4: 3 so the answer is 4: 3
