On moving day, a mix of small 4Kg boxes and large 8Kg baxes have to be moved. A maximum of 60 small boxes and a minimum of 40 large boxes are to be moved, and the team of movers wants to know how many boxes of each type can be moved into a container that holds no more than 600Kg.
Okay so i get:
x<=60
y>=40
x+y=600Kg
where do i go from here? do i graph it in Kg or in like numbres??? i don't know! Help me pleaase!

your equations should be
x<=60
y>=40
4x+8y<=600
(remember the weight of the boxes), x, y are number of boxes.
you graph in numbers

Hello,
The third inequality should be x + y <= 600.
Now Graph these all on the same coordinate plane and use the points of intersection to find the max value.
Hope This Helps!!
