Question

Your club is baking vanilla and chocolate cakes for a bake sale. They need at most 27 cakes. You cannot have more than 13 chocolate cakes. Write a system of inequalities to model this system.Let x = the number of vanilla cakes.Let y = the number of chocolate.

Answer 1

x = the number of vanilla cakes.

y = the number of chocolate cakes

They need at most 27 cakes means:

x + y ≤ 27 (equation 1)

You cannot have more than 13 chocolate cakes means:

y ≤ 13 (equation 2)
