Question 5 A farmer, planning spring planting has decided to plant up a total of 120 acres of corn and soybeans. An estimate of the investment required and the expected return per acre for each are given in the table below. Crop Investment Return Corn $20 $50 $35 $80 Soybeans + Because corn is needed for feed purposes on the farm, the farmer needs at least 38 acres of corn, and the budget can cover at most $3000 both corn and soybeans. Let x represent number of acres to be planted in soybeans and y as the number of acres of corn. a) Based on the information above, write out 3 inequalities, other than x 2 0, which best represent the constraints given.
