cost?

a. Define variables.
b. Write a system of linear inequalities to model this problem.
To a):

s := monthly salary
c := number of counselors
a := number of aides

to b):

$\left|\begin{array}{l}a+c \ge 30 \\
a+c \le 45 \\
a \ge 10 \\
2c \le 3a\end{array} \right.
$
Solve these inequalities vor c and draw the graphs. Determine the feasible polygon. Use the vertex which produces the lowest parallel to the line describing the salary.

and:

$s = 2400 \cdot c + 1100 \cdot a$

I've got 30 aides and 0 counselors would cause the lowest costs.

4. I've been working on this problem...oh and I masturbated too.
