Answer:


x\leq 110


y\leq 80


x+2y\leq 200

Explanation:

Given that x and y are the numbers of battery-powered calculators and solar-powered calculators respectively.

As a maximum of 110 solar-powered and 80 battery-powered calculators can be made, so


x\leq 110 and
y\leq 80.

As each solar-powered calculator requires 1 work-hour to produce and each battery-powered calculator requires 2 work-hours

So, total work-hour required to produced x battery-powered calculator and y solar-powered calculator = x+2y

As the maximum available work-hour is 200 hours, so


x+2y\leq 200.

Hence, all 3 inequalities are


x\leq 110


y\leq 80


x+2y\leq 200
