Help, I can’t seem to get two equations out of this!
A firm manufactures bumper bolts and fender bolts for antique cars. One machine can produce 130 fender bolts per hour, and another machine can produce 120 bumper bolts per hour. The combined number of fender bolts and bumper bolts the packaging department can handle is 230 per hour. What inequalities describe the constraints on each type of bolt produced?
I got one equation:
130x + 120y= 230.
Can you help me find the other one?
Thanks!
