We just need to express each part as an inequality.

We know that

• TV ads cost $600 per airing.

,

• Magazine ads cost $1200 per issue.

,

• The total advertising budget is $9,000.

,

• x = TV ads and y = magazine ads

An inequality that represents this budget restriction is


600x+1200y\leq9000

Additionally, we are only allowed to purchase up to 6 magazine ads. This means


0\leq y\leq6

At last, we are only allowed to purchase up to 7 TV ads. This means


0\leq x\leq7
