Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Define the variables as given in the problem.

    Let xx be the number of shirts of type A.
    Let yy be the number of shirts of type B.

  2. Formulate the first inequality based on the total number of shirts.

    "The total number of shirts must not exceed 400."
    This means the sum of type A and type B shirts must be less than or equal to 400.

    x+y≤400x + y \le 400
  3. Formulate the second inequality based on the comparison of types A and B.

    "He has to supply more of type A than of type B."
    This means the number of type A shirts must be strictly greater than the number of type B shirts.

    x>yx > y
  4. Formulate the third inequality based on the maximum number of type A shirts.

    "He must supply at most 300 of type A."
    This means the number of type A shirts must be less than or equal to 300.

    x≤300x \le 300
  5. Formulate the fourth inequality based on the minimum number of type B shirts.

    "and at least 80 of type B."
    This means the number of type B shirts must be greater than or equal to 80.

    y≥80y \ge 80

    The four inequalities are:

    1. x+y≤400x + y \le 400
    2. x>yx > y
    3. x≤300x \le 300
    4. y≥80y \ge 80

    The four inequalities are:

    x+y≤400x>yx≤300y≥80\boxed{ \begin{align*} x + y &\le 400 \\ x &> y \\ x &\le 300 \\ y &\ge 80 \end{align*} }
