A gardening company sells clay flower pots and plastic flower pots. There must be at least 2 pots in each shipment, but there cannot be more than 8 in a shipment. Additionally, the shipment must weigh less than 100 lbs. Each shipment container weighs 20 lbs., and there is 1 lb. of packing material. A clay flower pot weighs 15 lbs., whereas a plastic flower pot weighs 7.5 lbs. (A) Write a system of inequalities that represent the constraints on the number of pots that can be included in one shipment.

The system of inequalities can be obtained from the given information

on the allowable weights and number of pots.

The correct responses:

The system of inequalities that represent the constraint on the number

of pots that can be included in one shipment are;

The inequality that represents the number total number of clay, T, in each shipment is 2 ≤ T ≤ 8

The inequality that represents weight of each shipment is w < 100 lbs

The weight of each shipment container = 20 lbs

The weight of the packing material = 1 lb

Therefore;

The weight of each clay flower pot = 15 lbs

The weight of each plastic flower pot = 7.5 lbs

Let "x" represent the number of clay flower pot included in one shipment

and let "y" represent the number of plastic flower pot included in one

shipment, we have;

The system of inequalities that represent the constraint on the number of pots that can be included in one shipment are as follows;

We will find the system of inequalities:

C*15 lb  + P*7.5lb < 79 lb

2  ≤ P + C ≤ 8

First, we need to define the variables that we will be using, these are:

From the first restriction, we have that:

2  ≤ P + C ≤ 8

The other restriction says that the weight must be less than 100lbs:

W < 100lbs

Where the weight is:

W = C*15 lb  + P*7.5lb + 20lb + 1lb

Where 20lb is the weight of the container and 1lb is the weight of the packing material, then we have:

C*15 lb  + P*7.5lb + 20lb + 1lb < 100lb

We can subtract 21 lb in both sides to get:

C*15 lb  + P*7.5lb < 100 lb - 21 lb

C*15 lb  + P*7.5lb < 79 lb

So we got our two inequalities, then the system is:

C*15 lb  + P*7.5lb < 79 lb

2  ≤ P + C ≤ 8
