an office supply manufacturer makes two kins of paper clips: standard and extra large. To make a case of standard paper clips requires 1/4 hour on a cutting machine and 1/2 hour on a machine that shapes the clips. A case of extra large paper clips requires 1/3 hour on each machine.set up and solve a system of equations to determine how many cases of each type of paper clip can be produced in a week if the cutting machine can run for 25 hours and the shaping machine can run for 35 hours in a week.
