Question

number of tomato plants
match each point to the statement that describes it.
a point a
1 the soil is fully used when 6 tomato plants and 4 broccoli plants are planted.
b point b
2 only broccoli was planted, but the plot is fully used and all plants can grow properly.
c point c
3 after 3 tomato plants and 2 broccoli plants were planted, there is still extra space in the plot.
d point d
4 with 4 tomato plants and 6 broccoli plants planted, the plot is overcrowded.

Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze each point and statement:

Analyzing Point A:

If only broccoli is planted (no tomato plants, \( x = 0 \)) and the plot is fully used, this matches statement 2: “Only broccoli was planted, but the plot is fully used and all plants can grow properly.”

Analyzing Point B:

If 3 tomato plants (\( x = 3 \)) and 2 broccoli plants are planted with extra space, this matches statement 3: “After 3 tomato plants and 2 broccoli plants were planted, there is still extra space in the plot.”

Analyzing Point C:

If 6 tomato plants (\( x = 6 \)) and 4 broccoli plants are planted (soil fully used), this matches statement 1: “The soil is fully used when 6 tomato plants and 4 broccoli plants are planted.”

Analyzing Point D:

If 4 tomato plants (\( x = 4 \)) and 6 broccoli plants are planted (overcrowded), this matches statement 4: “With 4 tomato plants and 6 broccoli plants planted, the plot is overcrowded.”

Answer:

• A: 2. Only broccoli was planted, but the plot is fully used and all plants can grow properly.
• B: 3. After 3 tomato plants and 2 broccoli plants were planted, there is still extra space in the plot.
• C: 1. The soil is fully used when 6 tomato plants and 4 broccoli plants are planted.
• D: 4. With 4 tomato plants and 6 broccoli plants planted, the plot is overcrowded.
