put this solution on YOUR website! home-based company produces both hand-knitted scarves and sweaters. The
scarves take 2 hours of labor to produce, and the sweaters take 14 hours. The
labor available is limited to 40 hours per week, and the total production
capacity is 5 items per week. Write a system of inequalities representing this
situation, where x is the number of scarves and y is the number of sweaters. Then graph the system of inequalities.
:
The labor inequality:
2x + 14y =<40
:
The production inequality:
x + y =< 5
:
Here is what the graph should look like:
Put the equations in the the general form:
y =< (40-2x)/14: purple
and
y =< 5 - x; green
Plot these two:
