A manufacturer wants to produce x balls and y boxes. Resource constraints require that x and y satisfy the inequalities shown. What is the maximum number of balls and boxes combined that can be produced given the resource constraints?
A. 5,000
B. 6,000
C. 7,000
D. 8,000
E. 10,000

We can add the inequalities as their signs are in the same direction. So, adding both we get:
\(7x + 6y \leq 38,000\)
\(4x + 5y \leq 28,000\)
\(11x + 11y \leq 66000\)
Then, divide the equation by 11
\(x + y \leq 6,000\)
So, correct answer is 6000
