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

Factor the polynomial completely.<br><br> 9g^2 - 30gh + 25h^2
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a perfect square.

It factors into (3g - 5h)^2

or (3g - 5h)(3g - 5h)

Make sure it is correctly factored.

3g*3g = 9g^2

3g * - 5h  = - 15gh

-5h*3g = - 15gh

5h*5h = 25h^2

These four terms add to 9g^2 - 15gh - 15gh + 25h^2 = 9g^2 - 30gh + 25h^2 which is exactly what you started with.
