Question

company manufactures two types of structural beams, A and B.

Each Beam A requires 2 hours of cutting and 3 hours of welding.
Each Beam B requires 3 hours of cutting and 1 hour of welding.
The cutting machine is available for a maximum of 60 hours, and the welding machine for a maximum of 30 hours per week.
The profit on Beam A is $100 and on Beam B is $150.
Which inequality represents a valid constraint for the cutting hours, where x = number of Beam A, and y = number of Beam B?

Group of answer choices

Answer 1

2x + 3y ≤ 60

(2 hours of cutting per A times x plus 3 hours per B times y cannot exceed the 60 available cutting hours.)
