MODELING WITH SYSTEMS OF INEQUALITIES There are many situations that arise in business and engineering that necessitate systems of linear inequalities. The region in the xy-plane that solves the systems often represents all of the viable solutions to the system, so being able to visualize this region can be extremely helpful. As always, with modeling, it is important to really read the problems and understand the physical quantities involved.

(a)If John works 14 hours mowing and 30 hours at the bakery, does this satisfy all of the problem’s constraints?

(b)If x represents the hours John spends mowing and y represents the hours he spends at the bakery, write a system of inequalities that describes this scenario.
