Answer: The company should produce 7 skateboards and 16 rollerskates in order to maximize profit.
Step-by-step explanation: Let the skateboards be represented by s and the rollerskates be represented by r. The available amount of labour is 30 units, and to produce a skateboard requires 2 units of labor while to produce a rollerskate requires 1 unit. This can be expressed as follows;
2s + r = 30 ------(1)
Also there are 40 units of materials available, and to produce a skateboard requires 1 unit while a rollerskate requires 2 units. This too can be expressed as follows;
s + 2r = 40 ------(2)
With the pair of simultaneous equations we can now solve for both variables by using the substitution method as follows;
In equation (1), let r = 30 - 2s
Substitute for r into equation (2)
s + 2(30 - 2s) = 40
s + 60 - 4s = 40
Collect like terms,
s - 4s = 40 - 60
-3s = -20
Divide both sides of the equation by -3
s = 6.67
(Rounded up to the nearest whole number, s = 7)
Substitute for the value of s into equation (1)
2s + r = 30
2(7) + r = 30
14 + r = 30
Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation
r = 16
Therefore in order to maximize profit, the company should produce 7 skateboards and 16 rollerskates.
Hello,

I don't know for sure I'm going to ace grade next year but I know that you you need to put the coefficients with the same variable together and the variable next to the coefficients and multiply or add or divide or subtract them and you get your answer and this is just 7th grade math I'm relying on
The answer is 9 because 25% of 60 is 15 plus 60% of 60 is 36 so 36+15=51 and 60-51=9
