Answer 2

constraints:
10 cups of peanut butter ⇒ x < 10
12 cups of flour ⇒ y < 12

dog bone treat : 3x + 2y ; price : 6 per tray
oatmeal dog treat : x + 4y ; price : 7 per tray

dog bone treat: 3(3x + 2y) = 9x + 6y
oatmeal dog treat: 1(x+4y) = x + 4y
10y+ 10y

3 x 6 =18
1 x 7 = 7
25

variable x is the peanut butter. It should not exceed the 10 cups of peanut butter.
variable y is the flour. It should not exceed the 12 cups of flour.
