Steve is training for the shot put.  He has 100 hours to train before the state finals.  There are two modes of training available: weight training and throwing.  Each hour spent weight training adds 1/2 inch to his distance.  (The point is to get the most distance.) The total effect of throwing practice is given by the function 4t where t is hours spent throwing.  How much time should he spend on each?  Enter the best integer values.  You may want to get a pen and paper and a calculator for this.
