When planning his crops, Farmer Joe knows that his 5 acres can support corn and strawberries. He wants to make $5,500 from his crops. He can make $1,000 per acre of corn (the variable c) and $1,500 per acre of strawberries (the variable s). Which equation below would be a constraint in his system of equations?

c + s = 5

c - s = 5

1,500c + 1,000s = 5,500

1,500s - 1,000c = 5,500

    Given:

    5 acres of land for corn and strawberries.

    5,500 earnings from his crops.

    1,000 per acre of corn

    1,500 per acre of strawberries.

    c = corn; s = strawberries

    c + s = 5

    1,000c + 1,500s = 5,500

    The constraint in his system of equation is:

    c + s = 5

    Regardless of his combination, Farmer Joe is limited to only 5 acres of land for his crops.
