Question 969128: Can you please help me figure out what linear equations I need to make from the following word problem?
Santa's workshop sells 2 kinds of toys, round and square. They also use 2 different kinds of materials, plastic and wood. Each round toy requires 4 units of plastic and 2 units of wood. Each square toy requires 3 units of plastic and 3 units of wood. There are 480 units of plastic and 300 units of wood in total. How many toys can you make.
I already know that x=round toys
y=square toys
The objective equation is P=x+y
Thank you,

Autumn Cunningham

Santa's workshop sells 2 kinds of toys, round and square. They also use 2 different kinds of materials, plastic and wood. Each round toy requires 4 units of plastic and 2 units of wood. Each square toy requires 3 units of plastic and 3 units of wood. There are 480 units of plastic and 300 units of wood in total. How many toys can you make.
I already know that r = round toys
s = square toys
The objective equation is P =r + s
---------
r >= 0
s >= 0
Plastic Inequality:: 4r + 3s <= 480
Wood Inequality::::: 2r + 3s <= 300
-----
Rearrange::
r <= (-3/4)s + 120
r <= (-3/2)s + 150
