$$\begin{array}{r}{x+3 y ? 6} \\ {x+y ? 3} \\ {x-2 y ? 2} \\ {x \geq 0} \\ {y \geq 0}\end{array}$$
where? can be either $\leq$ or $\geq$ . For each region, tell what the ? should be in the three inequalities. For example, for region A, the ? should be $\geq, \leq,$ and $\leq,$ because region $\mathrm{A}$ is described by the inequalities

A cement manufacturer produces at least 3.2 million barrels of cement annually. He is told by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that his operation emits 2.5 lb of dust for each barrel produced. The EPA has ruled that annual emissions must be reduced to no more than 1.8 million lb. To do this, the manufacturer plans to replace the present dust collectors with two types of electronic precipitators. One type would reduce emissions to 0.5 lb per barrel and operating costs would be 16$\notin$ per barrel. The other would reduce the dust to 0.3 lb per barrel and operating costs would be 20$\notin$ per barrel. The manufacturer does not want to spend more than 0.8 million dollars in operating costs on the precipitators. He needs to know how many barrels he could produce with each type. Let $x=$ the number of barrels (in millions) produced with the first type and $y=$ the number of barrels (in millions) produced with the second type.

A dietician is planning a snack package of fruit and nuts. Each ounce of fruit will supply 1 unit of protein, 2 units of carbohydrates, and 1 unit of fat. Each ounce of nuts will supply 1 unit of protein, 1 unit of carbohydrates, and 1 unit of fat. Every package must provide at least 7 units of protein, at least 10 units of carbohydrates, and no more than 9 units of fat. Let $x=$ the ounces of fruit and $y=$ the ounces of nuts to be used in each package.
