Q:
Need Help with word problems that include writing inequalities?

At a certain refinery, the refining process requires the production of at least two gallons of gasoline for each gallon of fuel oil. To meet the anticipated demands of winter, at least three million gallons of fuel oil a day will need to be produced. The demand for gasoline, is not more than 6.4 million gallons per day.

If gasoline is selling for $1.90 per gallon and fuel oil sells for $1.50 per gallon, how much of each should be produced in order to maximize revenue?

Dont graph just please help me write the inequalites thanks in advance
