Answer 2

The first thing we do in these cases is to define the variables.
We have then:
w = represent the number of acres of wheat
c = represent the number of acres of corn
We write now the inequalities based is:
"Jess will plant up to 27 acres on her farm with wheat and corn"
w + c <= 27
"More than 5 acres will be planted with wheat"
w> 5
Answer:
two inequalities that represent this situation are:
w + c <= 27
w> 5
