Question 61012: if 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!
x = n umber of scarfs per week
y = number of sweaters per week
2x+%2B+14y+%3C=+40
x+%2B+y+%3C=+5
+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-2%2C+25%2C+-2%2C+10%2C+%2820+-+x%29%2F7%2C+5+-+x%29+
The solution is the area under both curves at once
