Please help it is due today! I have done some of the work on my own. So far I got that x= the number of banana loafs and y= the number of pumpkin loafs. 
One inequality is x is greater than or equal to 0 and y is greater than or equal to 0. I also got that x is less than or equal to 15 and y is less than or equal to 8..
