Ben is decorating his home with vases of flowers. He bought glass vases that cost $22 each and ceramic vases that cost $14 each. The total cost of the vases came to more than $172. Also, Ben bought no more than 10 vases in all. Which system of inequalities can be used to determine the number of glass vases, x, and the number of ceramic vases, y, that Ben could have bought?

step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
