Juan is studying for his final exams in Chemistry and Algebra. He knows he only has 24 hours to study,
and it will take him at least two times as long to study for Algebra highlight%28cross%28than%29%29 as Chemistry.
Write a system of inequalities to model this situation.
Let a represent the number of hours spent studying for Algebra
and let c represent the number of hours spent studying for Chemistry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

a + c <= 24     hours to study, in all    (1)                                                     

a >= 2c                                   (2)
