Answer:
(a, y) = (10, 25)
Step-by-step explanation:
The two constraints give rise to two inequalities: one for the maximum number of pieces shipped, and one for the minimum revenue. A solution is a point on the graph where the inequality solutions overlap.

We're told to use 'a' for the number of chairs, and 'y' for the number of tables.
a +y ≤ 45 . . . . . . the maximum number that can be shipped is 45
200a +650y ≥ 16000 . . . . . revenue must be at least 16000
The line for the revenue equation has a slope of -200/650 = -4/13. The solution space is above this line.
The line for the quantity shipped equation has a slope of -1, somewhat steeper. The solution space is below this line.
The boundary lines combine to define a wedge-shaped solution area in the left part of the first quadrant. One point that can be found in that area is ...
(a, y) = (10, 25)
One possible solution is to sell 10 chairs and 25 tables.
