A farmer has 80 hectares of his farm available for planting maize and cabbages. He must grow at least 10 hectares of maize and 20 hectares of cabbages to meet demands. He prefers to plant more cabbages than maize but his work force and equipment will only allow him to cultivate a maximum of three times the quantity of cabbages to that of maize.
1. Represent the information above as a system of inequalities
