How to Solve Systems of Inequalities Word Problems

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

Many real-world constraints call for multiple inequalities, like “Work hours ≤ 40, wage/hour ≥ ₹100, and total weekly pay ≥ ₹3,500.” Represent each constraint as an inequality, then find the feasible region if you have two or more variables. For instance, x≥100, y≤40, and xy≥3,500 in some context. Graphing or systematically analyzing these inequalities reveals possible solutions. Industrial engineering, resource allocation, or scheduling tasks rely heavily on systems of inequalities for optimization. Mastering them fosters an ability to handle advanced planning with multiple constraints or objectives.
