Question 122845: I struggle with word problems and I am really struggling with these two. If someone could please help me understand these I would be very grateful. I have been working on these two problems for 2 days and I believe I am confusing myself due to the nature of the problem. Thanks!!
Question 1
A small company produces both standard and deluxe playhouses. The standard playhouses take 12 hours of labor to produce, and the deluxe playhouses take 20 hours. The labor available is limited to 800 hours per week, and the total production capacity is 50 items per week. Existing orders require the company to produce at least 10 standard playhouses and 15 deluxe playhouses per week. Write a system of inequalities representing this situation, where x is the number of standard playhouses and y is the number of deluxe playhouses. Then graph the system of inequalities.
Question 2
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.

Question 123287: I have a problem (8th grade) that I can't get started on. "a group of friends
eat at a restaurant and agreed to split the $6.00 bill equally. Two men left without paying and the remaining others were assessed .25 more. How many men in the party originally?"
It seems like a linear equation that has 2 variables. How much did each spend and how many men. I can't put it into equation form.

Question 123441: Your math teacher tells you that next week's test is worth 100 points and contains 38 problems. Each problem is worth either 5 points or 2 points. Because you are studying for systems of linear equations, your teacher says that for extra credit you can figure out how many problems of each value are on the test. How many of each value are there?

Question 123632: Draw the appropriate graphs in each of the following.
A small firm produces both AM and AM/FM car radios. The AM radios take 15 h to produce, and the AM/FM radios take 20 h. The number of production hours is limited to 300 h per week. The plants capacity is limited to a total of 18 radios per week, and existing orders require that at least 4 AM radios and at least 3 AM/FM radios be produced per week. Write a system of inequalities representing this situation. Then, draw a graph of the feasible region given these conditions, in which x is the number of AM radios and y the number of AM/FM radios.
