A company produces two types of drills, a corded and cordless. The cord-type drill requires 3 hours to make, and the cordless model requires 4 hours. The company has 720 work hours per day for manufacturing and daily storage of 220 drills per day. Let x = the number of cordless drills produced per day and y the number of corded drills produced per day. Write the system of inequalities < 720 < 220 Graph the system of inequalities.

Biology Each day, an average adult moose can process about 32 kilograms of terrestrial vegetation (twigs and leaves) and aquatic vegetation. From this food, it needs to obtain about 1.9 grams of sodium and 11,000 calories of energy. Aquatic vegetation has about 0.15 gram of sodium per kilogram and about 193 calories of energy per kilogram, whereas terrestrial vegetation has minimal sodium and about four times as much energy as aquatic vegetation. Write and graph a system of inequalities that describes the amounts t and a of terrestrial and aquatic vegetation, respectively, for the daily diet of an average adult moose.
