An online furniture store sells chairs and tables. Each day, the store can ship no more than 19 pieces of furniture. Write an inequality that could represent the possible values for the number of tables sold, tt, and the number of chairs sold, cc, that would satisfy the constraint.

Answer 1

To represent the constraint on the total number of pieces of furniture (chairs and tables) that can be shipped each day, you can write the following inequality:

\[ t + c \leq 19 \]

In this inequality:

• \( t \) represents the number of tables sold.
• \( c \) represents the number of chairs sold.

The inequality states that the sum of the number of tables and chairs sold must be less than or equal to 19, which reflects the maximum shipping capacity of the store.
