Question 72146
The Problem:
"To fill an order for Sizzlin' Sauce, you bought 1050 green peppers and 1200 hot chilli peppers. Write a system of inequalities to represent the number of pints of each kind of sauce you can make." 
------
The Recipe to make Red Hot Sauce:
(Yeild: 1 pint)
1pt tomato sauce
5 green peppers
4 hot chilli peppers 
-------
there's one more recipe, 
{yield: 1 pint}
1pt tomato sauce
4 green peppers
8 hot chilli peppers

The Problem:
"To fill an order for Sizzlin' Sauce, you bought 1050 green peppers and 1200 hot chilli peppers. Write a system of inequalities to represent the number of pints of each kind of sauce you can make." 
--------
Let number of pints of Red Hot be "x"
Let number of pints of "Other" by "y"
 
and those are the two
I tried it like this:
{5x +4y <or= 1050
{4x + 8y <or= 1200

That is correct.
