Question 74648: 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.

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.
--------------
Labor inequality:
2x+14y<=40
x+y<=5
0<=x<=5
0<=y<=5
----------
Solve each of the 1st two inequalities for "y":
y<=-(1/7)x+(20/7)
y<=-x+5
---------------
Graph the Equalities and determine the
half-planes of the Inequalities:
