Formulate a system of equations for the situation below and solve.

A manufacturer of women's blouses makes three types of blouses: sleeveless, short-sleeve, and long-sleeve. The time (in minutes) required by each department to produce a dozen blouses of each type is shown in the following table.

Sleeveless Short-
Sleeve		 Long-
Sleeve
Cutting  9 12 15
Sewing 22 24 28
Packaging  6  8  8

The cutting, sewing, and packaging departments have available a maximum of 73.5, 150, and 44 labor-hours, respectively, per day. How many dozens of each type of blouse can be produced each day if the plant is operated at full capacity?

Formulate the situation as a system of inequalities. (Let x represent the number of goats the farmer can raise and y represent the number of llamas.) A rancher raises goats and llamas on his 800-acre ranch. Each goat needs 4 acres of land and requires $70 of veterinary care per year, while each llama needs 10 acres of land and requires $56 of veterinary care per year. If the rancher can afford no more than $9,240 for veterinary care this...
