Tangerine trees yield 50 pounds of fruit per acre and grapefruit trees yield 75 pounds of fruit per acre. John's orchard produced a maximum total of 1,500 pounds of fruit. Is it possible for John to have 25 acres of tangerine trees and 15 acres of grapefruit trees?

No, it is not possible, because the total pounds would be over John's maximum. It adds up to 2375 pounds of fruit.
