Question 727600: I have a graph that I am supposed to fill out along with answering the equation. The problem is this:
Susan teaches knitting and math. She only has 15 one-hour sessions available to teach per month. She has already committed to at least 1 hour of math and at least 5 hours of knitting. Each hour session of math requires 1 mile of driving, each hour session of knitting requires 2 miles of driving and she doesn�t want to do more than 25 miles of driving per month. Her fancy calculator, which she needs to teach math, will not work more than 17 hours a month. If she gets $20 per hour to teach knitting and $30 per hour to teach math, how many hours of each should she teach per month to maximize profit?
