Answer:
d : [ 0 , 26 ]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
- The oranges produced last year, x = 36
- The oranges produced this year, y < 10
Find:-
What are the possible values for how many fewer oranges were produced from the tree this year
Solution:-
- The possible values for how many fewer oranges were produced this year relative to last can be determined by solving an inequality that signifies a difference (d) between last year and this year production as follows:
d = x - y
d = 36 - (<10)
- To remove the inequality from Right hand side we we can shift it to left hand side by inverting the inequality sig, since last production is exactly known we have:
d≥36 - 10
d≥ 26
- So the number of oranges produced are at least 26 less than last year and lower bound would be if there is no orange produced this year. Hence, the range is:
d : [ 0 , 26 ]
