Question

Your boss hands you the monthly data that show the number of orders coming in to and out of the warehouse. The data are in the table below. Explain to your boss, in complete sentences, the solution to this system and what the solution represents.
Month No. of orders in No. of orders out
January (1) 3 3
February (2) 6 4
March (3) 9 5
April (4) 12 6

Answer 1

Answer:

Month               No. of orders in No. of orders out

January (1)                 3           3

February (2)              6           4

March (3)                    9           5

April (4)                      12           6              

The solutions/equations for the scenario are as follows:

$y =3x$ , where y is the number of orders in, and x is the number of the month.

$z=x+2$, where z is the number of orders out, and x is the number of the month.

January month has the same input and output flow.

Answer 2

So the number of orders in is y=x+2, and going out is y=2x-1. The solution, which is x=3, represents when the number of order in is the same as the number of order out.
