Let the number of units of the first type be x and the number of units of the second type be y.

A. You expect to sell at least 100 printers this month. This means that:
A + B >= 100 
For simplicity, we will work on the equal sign (A + B = 100) which is the minimum number of units to be sold.
This can be rewritten as: A = 100 - B .................> equation I

B. You expect to make a minimum profit of 4400. This means that:
50A + 40B >= 4400
Again for simplicity, we will work on the equal sign (50A + 40B = 4400) which is the minimum profit to be made
50A + 40B = 4400 ..................> equation II

Substitute with equation I in II:
50 (100-B) + 40B = 4400
5000 - 50B + 40B = 4400
5000 - 4400 = 50B - 40B
600 = 10B
B = 60
Substitute in equation I:
A = 100 - B = 100-60 = 40

Therefore, to minimize your cost and achieve your goals in number of selling units and profits:
you should buy at least 40 units from the first type and 60 units from the second type

Change this equation, in standard form, to slope-intercept form: 2x + 3y = 18
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

y = -2/3 + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 18       -----    here is the equation...

-2x          - 2x     -----    bring the 2x to the other side

3y = -2x + 18      -----    now you have to divide everything by 3 to get y by itself

y = -2/3 + 18       -----    Done!

Please help me with this question
jek_recluse [69]
A is the correct answer





E is 90 degrees


ABE is 52 so EBD is 64
(180 - 52) \div 2 = 128 \div 2 = 64


so D is 26:
180 - (90 + 64) = 180 - 154  \\  = 126





good luck
