Using a system of equations, it is found that it would take 2 servings of macaroni and 8 servings of broccoli to get the desired amount.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable M: Servings of macaroni.
  • Variable B: Servings of broccoli.

Researching the problem on the internet, each serving of macaroni has 3 grams of protein, while each serving of broccoli has 2 grams. Since 22 grams of protein are needed, we have that:

3M + 2B = 22.

Each serving of macaroni has 16 grams of carbohydrates, while each serving of broccoli has 4 grams. Since 64 grams of carbohydrates are needed, we have that:

16M + 4B = 64

Simplifying by 4:

4M + B = 16 -> B = 16 - 4M

Replacing in the first equation:

3M + 2B = 22

3M + 2(16 - 4M) = 22

5M = 10

M = 10/5

M = 2.

B = 16 - 4M = 16 - 8 = 8

2 servings of macaroni and 8 servings of broccoli are needed.

Anna is looking for a new part-time job. They respond to a classified ad for
Veronika [31]

Answer: $2,393.42

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose that the salary is yearly.

So in one year, 365 days, the net pay would be $62,400.

Now, "by-weekly" refers to two weeks or 14 days.

If she gets paid $62,400 in 365 days.

Then in 14 she gets paid.

N = (14/365)*$62,400 = $2,393.42

For the following problem state the objective function and the constraints. DO NOT solve:
Mama L [17]

Answer:

If we define S as the number Sprinkle's umbrellas, and H as the Hurricane's umbrellas, the profit P can be expressed as:

P=3S+5H

The restriction for cloth can be written as:

S+2H\leq500

The restriction for metal can be written as:

2S+3H\leq600

The restriction for wood can be written as:

4S+7H\leq800

The condition for S and H to be positive is:

S, H \geq0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have an objective function that, in this case, we want ot maximize.

This function is the Profit (P).

If we define S as the number Sprinkle's umbrellas, and H as the Hurricane's umbrellas, the profit can be expressed as:

P=3S+5H

We have 3 restrictions, plus the condition that both S and H are positive.

The restriction for cloth can be written as:

S+2H\leq500

The restriction for metal can be written as:

2S+3H\leq600

The restriction for wood can be written as:

4S+7H\leq800

The condition for S and H to be positive is:

S, H \geq0

Which system of equations is graphed below?
algol [13]

(Pls give brainliest! :D)

Answer:

<em>B</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>You know that the graph intercepts at the point of (4,-2)</em>

<em />

<em>Where x = 4 and y = -2.</em>

<em />

<em>This means that whenever you plug a value of x in the equation it should give the value of y.</em>

<em />

<em>For example when you plug x= 4 into the equation (B), it should look like this.</em>

<em />

<em>4- y = 6, solving for y gives us the value negative 2.</em>

<em />

<em>This means that it does give us this point, however, as the graph shows us, both lines meet at the point which means that both equation should give us this point.</em>

<em />

<em>If we substitute x = 4 in the second equation of b, we should be able to get 3(4) + 4y = 4. Solving for y gives us -2.</em>

<em />

Hope this helps!
