An apple pie uses 4 cups of apples and 3 cups of flour. An apple cobbler uses 2 cups of apples and 3 cups of flour. You have 16 cups of apples and 15 cups of flour. When you sell these at the farmer's market you make $3.00 profit per apple pie and and $2.00 profit per apple cobbler. Use linear programming to determine how many apple pies and how many apple cobblers you should make to maximize profit.
1a. Let x=the number of apple pies you make and y=the number of apple cobbler you make. Write an inequality to show the constraint on the amount of apples you have.
