. Marcus has 50 tokens to spend at the school
carnival. The Ferris wheel costs 7 tokens and
the carousel costs 5 tokens. The inequality
7x + 5y = 50 represents the possible ways
Marcus could use his tokens on the two rides.
Is the ordered pair (6, 3) a solution for the
problem situation?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The ordered pair (6,3) can not be a solution for the problem situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marcus has total 50 tokens to spend at the carnival.

Now, given that the Ferris wheel costs 7 tokens and  the carousel costs 5 tokens.

So, if Marcus play the Ferris wheel for x times and the carousel for y times, the total expenditure will be given by

7x + 5y = 50 ............ (1)

Now, the ordered pair (6,3) i.e. x = 6 and y = 3 does not satisfy the above relation equation (1).

So, the ordered pair (6,3) can not be a solution for the problem situation. (Answer)
