A company dyes two sizes of rugs. A small rug requires 8 hours for dyeing and a medium-size rug requires 12 hours for dyeing. The dyers have to make at least 22 rugs, and they must do it in less than 240 hours. Let x equal small rugs and y equal medium rugs. Which of the following inequalities can be paired with x + y ≥ 22 to create a system that represents this situation?

    Let x=small rugs and y=medium rugs. It takes 8 hours to dye a small rug, so you would write 8x. It takes 12 hours to dye a small rug, so you would write 12y. Those two would need to be added together. The dyer needs to dye at least 22 rugs in 240 hours, so you would need a less than or = to sign.

    I'm not sure which choice has the line beneath, indicating that the sign is a "less than or equal to" sign, but the answer is gonna be either C or D.

    8x+12y≤240, or 12y+8x ≤240
