Finding inequalities for the constraints?
A painter has exactly 32 units of yellow dye and 54 units of green dye. He plans to mix as many gallons as possible of color A and color B. Each gallon of color A requires 4 units of yellow dye and 1 unit of green dye. Each gallon of color B requires 1 unit of yellow dye and 6 units of green dye.
Let x be the number of gallons of color A and let y be the number of gallons of color B. Write the inequalities.
Please explain how to pull out the inequalities out of such a problem, and perhaps what you came up with as your inequalities, but the more important question is how you solved this. Thank you.

I assume by your question that he wants as many mixes of A and B as possible
so 4 yellow + 1 green + 1 yellow + 6 green
= 5 yellow + 7 green should be as high as possible but is constrained by the amount of units of yellow dye. This is a maximum of 32/5 = 6 (rounded downwards) – This doesn’t allow any more than this.
? I think in terms of x and y:
?
? x+ y = 12
?(your mix contains 2 gallons and you will need 6 of them for
?the maximum mix.)
