Peaches are being sold for $2 per pound. if x represents the number of pounds of peaches bought and y represents the
total cost of the peaches, which best describes the values of x and y?
o the values of both x and y can be any real number
o the values of both x and y will be real numbers greater than or equal to 0.
o the value of x can be any real number, but the value of y will always be a real number greater than or equal to 0.
0 the value of x can be any real number greater than or equal to 0, but the value of y must be an integer greater than o
equal to 0.

(d) The value of x can be any real number greater than or equal to 0, but the value of y must be an integer greater than o r equal to 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price of peach = $2 per pound.

x  : Number of pounds the peaches purchased.

y : Total cost of the x pound peaches.

Now, as the cost of 1 pound peach = $2

So, the Cost of x pounds of peaches =x times (Cost of 1 pound) = (2 x)

or, y = 2 x

Now, as x is the number of peaches purchase ⇒  x > 0

So, ( 2  x ) > 0

Also, y = 2 x    ⇒  y  > 0

Hence, here the value of x can be any real number greater than or equal to 0, but the value of y must be an integer greater than o r equal to 0.

The values of both x and y can be real numbers greater than or equal to 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a direct relationship between x and y, that is why the values of x and y can not be any real numbers. The value of y is dependent on the value of x, so, if x is 0 then y is 0. And if x is greater than 0, y also would be greater than 0.
