a mail distribution center processes as many as 150,000 pieces of mail each day. the mail is sent via ground and air. each land carrier takes 1800 pieces per load and each air carrier 1500 pieces per load. the loading equipment is able to handle as many as 150 loads per day. let X be the number of loads by air carriers and y the number of loads by air carriers. write a system of inequalities that represents this situation
If x is air carriers and y is land carriers, the answer would be 1500x + 1800y < 150000, x + y < 150. If x is land and y is air, the answer would be 1800x + 1500y < 150,000, x + y <150.
