A company dyes two sizes of rugs. A small rug requires 8 hours for dyeing and a medium-size rug requires 12 hours for dyeing. The dyers have to make at least 22 rugs, and they must do it in less than 240 hours. Let x equal small rugs and y equal medium rugs. Which of the following inequalities can be paired with x + y ≥ 22 to create a system that represents this situation?

A.) 8x + 12y > 240
B.) 12x + 8y > 240
C.) 8x + 12y < 240
D.) 12x + 8y < 240​
