Ihave tried to to write the inequality for this but not unsure of my answer, me. here it college is currently accepting students that are both in-state and out-of-state. they plan to accept two times as many in-state students as out-of-state, and they only have space to accept 200 out-of-state students. let x = the number of out-of-state students and y = the number in-state students.

i think the answer is x> 0 and y> 0

Answers:

where x and y are integers

==================================================

Explanation:

x = number of out-of-state students

y = number of in-state students

both x and y are integers (basically numbers that dont have a decimal portion)

Given fact 1: "They plan to accept two times as many in-state students as out-of-state"

Given fact 2: "they only have space to accept 200 out-of-state students"

Because of fact 1 above, we can say y = 2*x or y = 2x. Whatever the x value is, we multiply by 2 to get the y value.

Based on fact 2, we know that x cannot exceed 200. Put another way, the largest x can get is 200. So we write . At the same time, x cannot be less than 0, so we also say which is the same as

Combine and to form the compound inequality

------------

From here, multiply all three sides by 2 to get the following

note the replacement of 2x with y (since y = 2x)

which shows that the college will accept up to 400 new in-state students.
