Answer:

2,500 German chocolate cake boxes.

1,500 Swiss chocolate cake boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'S' be the number of Swiss chocolate cakes boxed and 'G' the number of German cholocate cakes boxed. If all of the available ingredients are used:

0.55*S +0.59*G = 2,300\\0.45*S+0.41*G = 1,700

Solving the linear system above:

(0.55 *S +0.59*G)- \frac{0.55}{0.45} (0.45*S+0.41*G)= 2,300-\frac{0.55}{0.45}*1,700*\\0.088888*G = 222.222\\G=2,500\\S =\frac{2,300-2,500*0.59}{0.55}\\S=1500

2,500 German chocolate cake boxes and 1,500 Swiss chocolate cake boxes can be made each day.

Determine the slope and y-intercept of the graph:<br> 2x + 5y = 10
FinnZ [79.3K]

Slope is -2/5 and y-intercept is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Write the equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b

2x + 5y = 10

5y = -2x + 10

y = -2/5 x + 10/5

y = -2/5 x + 2

  • Step 2: Find the slope and y-intercept from the equation.

Slope, m = -2/5

y-intercept, b = 2
