If we are to make x small rugs, each of which takes 2 hours to dye, then the total time taken to dye the small rugs is 2x. Similarly for the y large rugs which each take 3 hours to dye, the total time for dyeing the large rugs is 3y. Therefore the total for all sizes of rugs is 2x + 3y. Finally, we have a maximum of 60 available hours for the dyeing, so the total time cannot exceed 60, and the final inequality is 2x + 3y < 60
