Ozark furniture Company can obtain at 3000 board feet of maple lumber for making its classic and modern maple rocking chairs A classic maple rocker requires 15 board feet of maple, and a modern rocker requires 12 board feet of maple. Write an inequality that limits the possible number of maple rockers of each type that can be made, and graph the inequality in the first quadrant.
-------------------------------------
Let "c" be number of classic and "m" number of modern.
-------------------------------------------------------
15c + 12m <= 3000
m <= (-5/4)c + 250

Shade the area in the 1st quadrant that is below the boundary line.
