Let x be the number of loaves of banana bread and y be the number of loaves of nyt bread Elena makes.
1. A loaf of banana bread requires 2 cups of flour and 2 eggs, then x loaves require 2x cups of flour and 2x eggs.
2. A loaf of nut bread takes 3 cups of flour and 1 egg, then y loaves require 3y cups of flour and y eggs.
3. Elena has 12 cups flour, then
2x+3y≤12.
4. Elena has 8 eggs, then
2x+y≤8.
5. If she makes $1.50 profit per loaf of banana bread and $2 per loaf of nut bread, then she makes total profit of $(1.50x+2y).
The solution of system of two inequalities
is represented in the attached diagram.
