Let x be the number of basic wreaths Jorge will buy and let y be the number of customized wreaths.
We have the inequality x%2By%3E=8, since Jorge wants at least 8 wreaths.
We also have 20x%2B28y%3C=185, since Jorge can spend up to 185 dollars.
Therefore, the inequalities are highlight%28system%28x%2By%3E=8%2C20x%2B28y%3C=185%29%29.
