Ozark Furniture Lori Pope MAT221: Introduction to Algebra Instructor: Kemba Chambers December 2, 2013 Ozark Furniture Ozark furniture has 3000 board feet of maple lumber in stock. In order to make classic maple rockers they need 15 board feet of maple lumber. In order to make a modern rocker they need 12 board feet of maple lumber. So we need to process an inequality and graph it in order to be sure that we have enough of the maple lumber in stock to prepare orders. The
