Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

L = D + 28

⅓L = ⅘D

Solve the system of equations using elimination or substitution.  Using substitution:

⅓L = ⅘(L − 28)

Multiply both sides by 15:

5L = 12(L − 28)

Distribute:

5L = 12L − 336

Combine like terms:

336 = 7L

Divide:

L = 48

nexus9112 [7]
The answer is x=-20.
6+ -28 -x =-2
You first add 28 to each side=6+-x=26 then you minus 6 from each side=-x=20.
Then you divide 20 by -x resulting in x=-20

A catering business offers two sizes of baked ziti. Its small ziti dish uses 1 cup of sauce
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

x + 2y ≤ 100 and x + 3y ≤ 400

Maximum profit = 6x + 5y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be x number of small dishes and y number of large dishes to maximize the profit.

So, total profit is P = 6x + 5y .......... (1)

Now, the small dish uses 1 cup of sauce and 1 cup of cheese and the large dish uses 2 cups of sauce and 3 cups of cheese.

So, as per given conditions,  

x + 2y ≤ 100 ........ (1) and  

x + 3y ≤ 400 .......... (2)

Therefore, those are the constraints for the problem. (Answer)
