A small company produces both bouquets and wreaths of dried flowers.  The bouquets take 1 hour of labor to produce, and the wreaths take 2 hours.  The labor available is limited to 80 hours per week, and the total production capacity is 60 items per week.  Write a system of inequalities representing this situation, where x is the number of bouquets and y is the number of wreaths.  Then graph the system of inequalities.
Story problem , help please?
labor: 1x + 2y ≤ 80
count: x + y ≤ 60
to graph 1st inequality, draw a line from x intercept at 80 to y intercept at 40.  likewise from x intercept 60 to y intercept 60 for 2nd.  shade the polygon enclosed by these lines and the x and y axes.  It will have corners at (0,0), (0,40), (40,20), and (60,0).
Reply:x+2y%26lt;=80
x+y%26lt;=60
graphing these is easy
