Please answer quickly this is due today and I just can’t figure it all out!!

In Andrews furniture shop he build bookshelves and tables each type of furniture takes him about the same time to make he figures he has time to make at most 25 pieces of furniture this by the Saturday the material for each book shelf cost him $20 in a materials for each table cost and $45 he has $675 to spend on materials Andrew makes a profit of $60 on each bookshelf and a profit of $100 for each table how many of each piece of furniture should Andrew make to maximize his profit 1. write a system of inequalities that represents Andrews constraints explain what each of the inequalities represents you should have four inequalities

Answer:

A. You may set the variables in either order. But for argument sake, let's set as follows:

x = Amount of bookshelves

y = Amount of tables

B. Because of the amount of things you need to make, the following is an inequality using those variables.

x + y > 25

Plus you can determine a second inequality based on the amount of money that you have to spend.

20x + 45y < 675

Finally you may also add in that each value must be greater than or equal to zero, since they cannot have negative tables.

C. By solving the system and looking at basic constraints when graphed, you can see the feasible region has 4 vertices.

(0,0)

(18, 7)

(0, 15)

(33.75, 0) or (33, 0) if you insist on rounding.

Step-by-step explanation: Good luck and hope this helps :)
