Write the system of inequalities
Carlos works at a movie theater selling tickets. The theater has 300 seats and charges $7.50 for adults and $5.50 for children. The theater expects to make at least $2000 for each showing.  

• x+y≤300
  7.5x+5.5y≥2000
• x+y<300
  7.5x+5.5y≥2000
• x+y≤300
  7.5x+5.5y≤2000
• x+y>2000
  7.5x+5.5y≤300

A farmer can plant up to 6 acres of land with soybeans and corn. Her use of a necessary pesticide is limited by federal regulations to 15 gallons for her entire 6 acres. Soybeans require 2 gallons of pesticide for every acre planted and corn requires 3 gallons per acre. The profit the farmer makes by earning $4,000 for every acre of soybeans she plants and $3,000 for every acre she plants with barley can be modeled by P=4000x+3000y . If x represents acres of soybeans and y represents acres of corns, which inequalities represent the possible solutions to her situation?

• x≥0

  y≥0

  x+y≥6

  3x+2y≥15

• x≥0

  y≥0

  x+y≤6

  2x+3y≤15

• x≥0

  y≥0

  4000x+y≤6

  2x+600y≤15

• P=4000x+3000y
