Question

Write a system of inequalities to represent this

situation.
The Washington family is hosting a cookout. They
decide to serve chicken and pork. They determine
that they will need at most 20 pounds of meat, and
they want to have at least twice as much chicken as
pork.

Answer 1

c + p <= 20

2c >= p

Explanation:

We can declare our variables as:

c = pounds of chicken

p = pounds of pork

The total meat can be expressed as c + p, and at most signifies that the family needs 20 pounds or less. Putting this together, one equation becomes c + p <= 20.

The family additionally wants at least 2 * c as p, which means that 2*c is greater than or equal to p, or 2c >= p.

hope this helps :)
