The system of inequalities is: and
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
Let be the amount of live bait and be the amount of natural bait.
As John would like to get at least 3 pounds of live bait, so the first inequality will be:
Given that, price of live bait is $12 per pound and natural bait is $7 per pound. Also, he only has a budget of $63. That means, he can spend maximum $63
So, the cost for buying pound of live bait and the cost for buying pound of natural bait
Thus, the second inequality will be:
M=1-5/2-3=-4/-1=4
M=4
(3,5)
5=2(3)+b
5=6+b
b=-1
1,068 is your answer. There will be 356 in each shipment because 1,424 divided by 4 is 356. And 356 times 3 is 1,068.
