Answer 1

Answer: 15 squash, 5 pumpkins; 15 squash, 10 pumpkins; 20 squash, 5 pumpkins.

Explanation:

Then graph the system of inequalities: 3.5x + 5.59y (less than or equal to) 117; x + y > 10.

The first inequality is saying the cost of x squash and y pumpkins should total no more than $117.

The second inequality states x squash and y pumpkins should add up to more than 10.
