Question 40378: A home-based company produces both hand-knitted scarves and sweaters. The scarves take 2 hours of labor to produce, and the sweaters take 14 hours. The labor available is limited to 40 hours per week, and the total production capacity is 5 items per week. Write a system of inequalities representing this situation, where x is the number of scarves and y is the number of sweaters. Then graph the system of inequalities.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x be number of scarves and y be number of sweaters
x+y <=5
2x + 14y < = 40
x >=0
y > = 0
