Tom wants to open a store that sells hats. He thinks he can sell them for $20 each. He estimates his monthly expenses to be $3,000, and it will cost him $8 for each hat. Tom wants to analyze his estimated revenues and expenses to see how many hats he would need to sell each month in order to break even. He uses x to represent the number of hats and y to represent the total dollars. Complete problems 1 through 7 below. 1. Write a function that represents Tom's expenses each month.

step-by-step explanation:

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.

mark brainliest!

answer: you need to organize this better it does not make sense.

step-by-step explanation: ?

multiplication is multiplication.   it might feel harder depending on what level of math you are in, but generally it will be the same old stuff, while implementing some new concepts and methods of solving work.
