When planning his crops, Farmer Joe knows that his 5 acres can support corn and strawberries. He wants to make $5,500 from his c
rops. He can make $1,000 per acre of corn (the variable c) and $1,500 per acre of strawberries (the variable s). Which equation below would be a constraint in his system of equations?
As the first equation can have different combinations, it is the second equation that defines just how much acres or corn or strawberries(or mathematically, it defines the values of c or s in the first equation) there are. Therefore, the equation " 5 = c + s" is the constraint.
