Ms. Kim, an analyst at Multi-Fastener Corp, has developed a model to forecast the company's total production of metal fasteners. Under this model, production, P, is equal to 4500 times the man-hours spent producing machine screws (S) plus 2900 times the man-hours spent producing nuts and bolts (P). Manpower constraints mean that total number of man-hours per year cannot exceed 44,000; logically, the number of man-hours assigned to either task cannot be negative. Express the model in mathematical form.
