Use this information to answer questions 1 – 7.
A factory produces “widgets” and “zurls.” The combined number of widgets and zurls made each day cannot be more than 12. The maximum number of widgets the factory can produce in a day is 4.
Let be the number of widgets and be the number of zurls. be the number of zurls.
Select two inequalities that represent this situation.
