Question 117770: A 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.
I do not understand this at all. Please help me with writing the system of inequalities number one and then if you could explain how to graph the system.
Thank you.

Question 117914: FIND THE LENGTH OF EACH SIDE OF A RECTANGLE SO THAT IT HAS THE GIVEN PERIMETER.
2X-5 TOP
X SIDE

P=50 IN.

2x-5 = length
x = width
Perimeter = 2L + 2W
50 in = 2L + 2W
Plug in the algebraic expressions in terms of x for L & W:
50 = 2(2x-5) + 2(x)
50 = 4x -10 + 2x
Combine like terms
50 = 6x -10
Add 10 to both sides of the equation:
50+10 = 6x -10 + 10
60 = 6x
Divide both sides by 6 to get the value fo x.
60/6 = 6x/6
10 in = x (width)or (SIDE)

Plug this value into the equation for the top.
2(10) -5
20-5 =15 in (TOP)
