x=lbs of turkey y=lbs of ahm X=times (mathematical funtion)

4x+6y<$72

x=3 12+6y<72, so y<60

y=2, so 2<60

voilá!

3 lbs turkey = $12
2 lbs ham - $12
total $24 w/ $48 left to spend

you could get another 6 lbs turkey w/ 4 lbs ham = $48

or another 8 lbs ham = $48

or another 12 lbs of turkey = $48

or 9 lbs turkey w/ 2 lbs ham = $48

I don't know what the hell you're asking but I do know that I now have a compelling urge to go make a sandwich.

Uuummmmmmm...ham
