Math inequality question.. :/?

Asked by kittykat219 (136points) October 22nd, 2011

To fill an order for Sizzlin’ Sauces, you bought 1050 green peppers and 1200 hot chili peppers.?
write and graph a system of inequalities to represent the number of pints of each kind of sauce you can make. Refer to the recipes below.

Red Hot Sauce yield:1pint
1 pint tomato sauce w/ onions
5 green peppers, diced
4 hot chili peppers

Scorchin’ Hot Sauce yield:1pint
1 pint tomato sauce w/ onions
4 green peppers, diced
8 hot chili peppers

Then select one solutions of the system and determine how many peppers you will have left over for each solution.

Do you have any idea how I’m supposed to do this question? I like figuring out math problems but when it comes to these sort of things I just get stuck.. :(
