To make recycling the waste profitable, the manufacturing company only recycles the waste if they are paid at least $500. One month, the company sells the metal waste to a recycling company for $120 per ton and the plastic waste for $180 per ton. Let x represent the weight, in tons, of the metal waste, and let y represent the weight, in tons, of the plastic waste. Which system of inequalities represents this situation?\r
