Crops Allocation Problem

Easy Heart Of Algebra Linear Equations And Inequalities

A local farmer is planning to plant two types of crops this season: corn and beans. The farmer has a total of 200 acres of land available for planting. The area allocated for planting corn is represented by the variable C, and the area allocated for planting beans is represented by the variable B.

The farmer wants to ensure that he plants more corn than beans. This requirement can be modeled by the inequality:

$$ C > B $$

Additionally, the total area used for the crops cannot exceed 200 acres. This is represented by the equation:

$$ C + B = 200 $$

How much area, in acres, could the farmer plant for beans, represented by B, if he plants a minimum of 1 acre of corn?
