I need help please!!
A painter has exactaly 32 units of yellow dye and 54 units of green dye. he plans to mix as many gallons as possible of color A and color B. Each gallon of color A requires 4 units of yellow and 1 unit of green. Each gallon of color B requires 1 uit of yellow dye and 6 units of green dye.

Let X be the number of gallons of color A and let y be the numbver of gallons of color B. write the inequalities.
Thanks in advance

Color A = 4yellow and 1green
Color B = 1yellow and 6green
5yellow divided by 32 = 6 Color A with 2 units of yellow left over
7green times 6 equals 42 with 12 green left over 2yellow and 12 green can make 2 more Color B

so
6 Color A
8 Color B

if x = 8 then y = 0
if x = 7 then y = 4
if x = 6 then y = 8 (the best option) using all the dye
if x = 5 then y = 8
if x = 4 then y = 8
if x = 3 then y = 8
if x = 2 then y = 8
if x = 1 then y = 8
if x = 0 then y = 9

Well, I'm not sure if this is right because the question is kind of odd. Umm...okay...here goes:

32 yellow (y)
54 green (g)
Color A = 4y + g
Color B = y + 6g
(4y+g) + (y+6g) < 32 + 54
5y + 7g < 86
If you want color A and B to be x and y...then...
x + y < 86...but that doesn't make any sense...

The inequalities are

32 >= 4A + B
54 >= A + 6B

If yellow = canary
and green = kelly
then painter = fired. Those are bad colors

A = 4y + 1g
B = 1y + 6g
6B + 1A < 54g
4A + 1B < 32y

graph or substitute

Shoot you better call back the math wizard or something cuz no one is ever going to be able to figure out that but here is my guess:

Go to the store and have them mix up the paint it saves alot of trouble
