Question 960347: Please help me solve this. I have tried and tried but everything I do turns out wrong!!
Janet and Eric have decided to plant tomatoes and corn on their farm. They can use up to 20 acres of land. Since Janet really likes corn, they have decided to plant more than twice as many acres of corn as tomatoes. Eric would like to have a minimum of 5 acres of tomatoes.

, what Eric wants.

The description really does not give equations, but instead, inequalities. They are all linear inequalities.

You did not ask to solve for how much acreage of tomatos and corn, but only wanted the system. That as a summary is this:
.

You could graph this on a cartesian system and find a region of points satisfying the system.
