PROBLEM NUMBER 1 A farmer can plant up to 8 acres of land with wheat and barley. He can earn $5,000 for every acre he plants with wheat and $3,000 for every acre he plants with barley. His use of a necessary pesticide is limited by federal regulations to 10 gallons for his entire 8 acres. Wheat requires 2 gallons of pesticide for every acre planted and barley requires just 1 gallon per acre. SOLUTION TO PROBLEM NUMBER 1 let x = the number of acres of wheat let y = the number of acres of barley. let p = total profit that can be earned. What are the two constraint equations on this problem? Type the two constraint equations. TAKE NOTE: use small letters and no blank spaces in between the characters
