where x is the number of hats and y is the number of afghans. Can she
make 0 hats and 8 afghans in the time allowed?
Please show steps. Thanks.

No, she cannot!!
Simply substitute 0 for x (hats), and 8 for y (afghans) into the inequality and determine if the inequality is TRUE, or not. Obviously if the inequality bodes TRUE, then it can be done. However, if it's FALSE, then what do you think?
You can do the check!!
