    x=number of shirts

    y=number of DVDs

    We can suggest the following system of inequalities.

    30x+12y<175

    We solve for x:

    maxmimun number of y: y<175/12; y<14

    30x+12y<175

    30x<175-12y

    x< (175-12 y) / 30 " y" can be:0,1,2, ...,14

    Answer 1 = the solution for shirts would be x< (175-12y) / 30;

    "y " can be:0,1,2, ...,14

    We solve for y;

    maximum number of DVDs: x<175/30<5

    30x+12y<175

    12y<175-30x

    y< (175-30x) / 12; "x" can be: 0,1,2,3,4,5.

    answer 2: the solutions for DVDs would be: y< (175-30x) / 12;

    "x" can be: 0,1,2,3,4,5.
