Question

A company is buying new computers. The company needs no more than 220 desktops and at least 50 laptops. A total of at least 200 computers must be bought. Write a system of linear inequalities to represent the constraints of this situation. Let x represent the number of desktops, and let y represent the number of laptops.

Answer 1

x + y ≥ 200 (at least 200 computers must be bought)
x ≤ 220 (no more than 220 desktops)
y ≥ 50 (at least 50 laptops must be bought)
