Seeds of type A and type B are sold ihna packet each packet must contain

1) both type a and type b seeds
2)at least tewice the number of type B seeds s there are of type A
3)no more than 12 seeds
a) state the minimum number in each packet of type a and of type B seeds
b)if there are X type A seeds and Y type B seeds in each packet write four inequalities to represent the above conditions

See my previous asnwer to the same question, posted about two days ago.

To find the minimum number of type A and type B seeds in each packet, we need to satisfy all the given conditions.

a) The minimum number in each packet of type A and type B seeds:
1) Both type A and type B seeds must be in the packet, so the minimum number of type A and type B seeds is 1 for each.
2) The number of type B seeds should be at least twice the number of type A seeds. So, the minimum number of type B seeds in each packet is 2.
3) The total number of seeds should be no more than 12. Since we already have 1 type A and 2 type B seeds, the maximum additional seeds would be 12 - 1 - 2 = 9. Therefore, the minimum number of type A seeds is 1, and the minimum number of type B seeds is 2.

b) To represent the above conditions as inequalities, let X represent the number of type A seeds and Y represent the number of type B seeds in each packet. The inequalities are as follows:

1) Both type A and type B seeds must be in the packet:
X ≥ 1
Y ≥ 1

2) The number of type B seeds should be at least twice the number of type A seeds:
Y ≥ 2X

3) Total number of seeds should be no more than 12:
X + Y ≤ 12
