Bob’s Claymart has enough clay to make 24 small vases or six large vases. He has only enough of a special glazing compound to glaze 16 of the small vases or eight of the large vases. Let X1 = the number of small vases and X2 = the number of large vases. The smaller vases sell for $6 each, and the larger vases bring $13 each.
