A small company produces both bouquets and wreaths of dried flowers. The bouquets take 1 hour of labor to produce, and the wreaths take 2 hours. The labor available is limited to 80 hours per week, and the total production capacity is 60 items per week. Write a system of inequalities representing this situation, where x is the number of bouquets and y is the number of wreaths. Then graph the system of inequalities
--------------------
Number of bouquets is "x"; Number of wreaths is "y".
1x+2y<=80
x+y<=60
x>=0
y>=0
--------------

Shade the half-plane below y=(-1/2)x+40, below y=-x+60, to the
right of x=0, and above y=0.
