What are the resource inequalities for the following
situation?
Producing a bookshelf requires 8 boards and 12 screws. Producing a
TV stand requires 6 boards and 14 screws. Each bookshelf yields $27
profit, and each TV stand yields $25 profit. There are 55 boards
and 130 screws available.
Let x denotes the number of bookshelf and y denotes the number of TV stands to be produced.
Each bookshelf requires 8 boards and each TV stand requires 6 boards. So the total number of boards required to produce x number of bookshelf and y number of TV stand is represented by the equation . The total number of boards available is 55. So the resource inequality for boards is .
Each bookshelf requires 12 screws and each TV stand requires 14 screws. So the total number of screws required to produce x number of bookshelf and y number of TV stand is represented by the equation . The total number of screws available is 130. So the resource inequality for screws is .
Also the quantitites x and y are non-negative. So it is represented as .
The correct option is the second option
