The deluxe model requires 3 hours to assemble and 1/2 hour to paint, and the economy model requires 2 hours to assemble and 1 hour to paint. The maximum number of assembly hours available is 24 per day, and the maximum number of painting hours available is 6 per day.(a) Write the system of inequalities that describes the constraints on the number of each type of wood chipper produced. (Let x represent the number of deluxe models, and let y represent the number of economy models.)(b) Find the corners of the solution region. (Order your answers from smallest to largest x, then from smallest to largest y.)

A:
Answer:3x + 2y ≀ 300.5x + y ≀ 9Step-by-step explanation:Number of deluxe model = xNumber of economy models = yAssembly hours :Maximum hours = 30Deluxe model = 3 hoursEconomy model = 2 hours3x + 2y ≀ 30Painting :Maximum hours = 9Deluxe model = 1/2 = 0.5 hoursEconomy model = 1 hours0.5x + y ≀ 9Therefore the inequality constraints are:3x + 2y ≀ 300.5x + y ≀ 9
