Question 285814: A company manufactures bicycles and skateboards. The company's daily production of bicycles cannot exceed 10, and its daily production of skateboards must be less than or equal to 12. The combined number of bicycles and skateboards cannot be more than 16. If x is the number of bicycles and y is the number of skateboards, graph on the accompanying set of axes the region that contains the number of bicycles and skateboards the company can manufacture daily.

I tried to do this question several times but keep getting stuck on the 10 and 12. I cant make another inequality for it.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x<=10
y<=12
x+y<=16
There is no question. It tells you to graph it!
What/where are the accompanying set of axes?
x y x+y
1 1 2
1 2 3
1 3 4
As you can see there are many possibilities for x and y
You cannot find a unique solution for x and y.
If you want to know the possible values of x and y when x+y=16
remember the max for y=12
the max for x=10
4 12 16
5 11 16
6 10 16
7 9 16
8 8 16
9 7 16
10 6 16
but the only "question" is to graph the inequalities.
also remember that x+y doesn't have to be 16
