Answer:


x \geq 4y


7.50x+4.75y\leq 125


x > 0


y > 0

Explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of yellow rose bushes

y -----> the number of red rose bushes

we know that

At least means "greater than or equal to"


x \geq 4y ----> inequality A


7.50x+4.75y\leq 125 -----> inequality B

additionally

The number of roses cannot be a negative number

so


x > 0 ----> inequality C


y > 0 ----> inequality D

therefore

The restraints are


x \geq 4y


7.50x+4.75y\leq 125


x > 0


y > 0
