Write the system of inequalities that describes the possible solutions to the problem.The Acme Class Ring Company designs and sells two types of rings: the VIP and the SST. The company can produce up to 40 rings each day, using up to 100 total man-hours of labor. It takes 2 man-hours to make one VIP ring and 5 man-hours to make one SST ring. Let x represent the number of VIP rings, and let y represent the number of SST rings. Find the system of inequalities that describes this company's ring production.
