To represent the situation with inequalities, we can start by defining the variables:
- Let \( w \) represent the number of acres planted with wheat.
- Let \( c \) represent the number of acres planted with corn.
Now, we know two key pieces of information:
-
Adam will plant up to 41 acres in total. This can be represented by the inequality: \[ w + c \leq 41 \]
-
Fewer than 28 acres will be planted with corn, which can be represented by the inequality: \[ c < 28 \]
Putting it all together, the two inequalities that represent this situation are:
- \( w + c \leq 41 \)
- \( c < 28 \)
