You have $18 to spend on oranges and grapes. Graph the equation 1.5x+2y=18, where x is the number of pounds of oranges and y is the number of pounds of grapes. Then find the maximum number of pounds of grapes you can buy.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The maximum number of pounds of grapes you can buy is 9 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can buy maximum number of pounds of grapes when you have not bought any oranges, i.e when [tex]x=0.[/tex]

This is the y-intercept of the graph of [tex]1.5x+2y=18[/tex] and looking at the graph we see that the y-intercept is 9.

Thus the maximum number of pounds of grapes you can buy is 9 pounds.
