a Let x denotes the car trips The inequality for the statement of "It makes at least five
car trips" is x≥5

Let y denotes the minibus trips The inequality for the statement of "It makes between
two and eight minibus trips" is 2<y<8

Let x denotes the car trips, and y the minibus trips The inequality for the statement
of "The total number of car and minibus trips does not exceed 12" is x+y≤12

The graph above shows the unshaded region that satisfies the inequality x≥5,2<y<8 and
x+y≤12
c Using point (6,4)(6,4), let x=6 and y=4

Use the formula x≥5, then substitute the value of x in the given formula and simplify.

x≥5

6≥5

Use the formula 2<y<8, then substitute the value of y in the given formula and
simplify.

2<y<8

2<4<8

Use the formula  x+ y ≤12, then substitute the value of x and y in the given formula
and simplify.

x+y≤12
6+4≤12
10≤12
All inequalities are true, therefore the unshaded region is where point (6,4) lies.
Therefore, there are 6 car trips and 4 mini bus trips.

a Let p denotes the loaves The inequality for the statement of "She bakes at least
five loaves" is p≥5

Let q denotes the cakes The inequality for the statement of "She bakes at least two
cakes" is q≥2

Let p denotes the loaves, and q the cakes The inequality for the statement of "She
bakes no more than ten loaves and cakes altogether" is p+q≤10

The graph above shows the unshaded region that satisfies the inequality  p≥5,q≥2 and 
p+q≤10
c Using point (6,3)(6,3), let P=6 and q=3

Use the formula p≥5, then substitute the value of p in the given formula and simplify.

p≥5

6≥5

Use the formula  q≥2, then substitute the value of q in the given formula and
simplify.

q≥2

3≥2

Use the formula  p+q≤10, then substitute the value of p and q in the given formula
and simplify.

p+q≤10

6+2≤10

8≤10

All inequalities are true, therefore the unshaded region is where point  (6,3) lies.
Therefore, there are 6 loaves and 3 cakes.

a Let m denotes the long curtains The inequality for the statement of "They buy at
least two long curtains" is  m≥2

Let m denotes the long curtains, n the short curtains The inequality for the statement
of "They also buy at least twice as many short curtains as long curtains" is n≥2m

Let mm denotes the long curtains, n the short curtains The inequality for the
statement of "A maximum of 11 curtains are bought altogether" is m+n≤11

The graph above shows the unshaded region that satisfies the inequality m≥2,
n≥2m and m+n≤11

Using point (3,7), let m=3 and n=7

Use the formula m≥2, then substitute the value of m in the given formula and
simplify.

m ≥2

3≥2

Use the formula  n ≥2m, then substitute the value of m and n in the given formula
and simplify.

n≥2

7 ≥ 2(3)

7≥6

Use the formula m+n≤11, then substitute the value of m and n in the given formula
and simplify.

m+n≤11

3+7≤11

10≤11

All inequalities are true, therefore the unshaded region is where point (3,7) lies.
Therefore, there are 3 long curtains and 7 short curtains.

a Let L denotes the large orange The inequality for the statement of "She buys at
least three but fewer than nine large oranges" is  3≤L<9

Let S denotes the short orange The inequality for the statement of "She also buys
fewer than six small oranges" is S< 6

Let L denotes the large oranges, S the small orange The inequality for the statement
of "The maximum number of oranges she needs to buy is 10" is L+S≤10

The graph above shows the unshaded region that satisfies the inequality 2≤L<9, S<6  and
L+S≤10

c Using point (6,2), let L=6 and S=2

3≤L<9

3≤6<9

Use the formula S<6, then substitute the value of S in the given formula and simplify.

S<6

2<7

Use the formula  L+S≤10, then substitute the value of L and S in the given formula
and simplify.

L+S ≤ 10

6+2 ≤10

8 ≤10

All inequalities are true, therefore the unshaded region is where point (6,2) lies.
Therefore, there are 6 larger oranges and 2 small oranges.
