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.

7. Factor the expression.<br> 42 - 64
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

-22 = -2^1×11^1

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following integer:

-22

Hint: | Is 22 divisible by 2?

The last digit of 22 is 2, which means it is even. Therefore 22 is divisible by 2:

22 = 2 11:

-22 = -2×11

Hint: | Now try to factor 11. Is 11 divisible by 2?

11 is not divisible by 2 since 11 is odd and 2 is even:

-22 = -2×11 (11 is not divisible by 2)

Hint: | Is 11 divisible by 3?

The sum of the digits of 11 is 1 + 1 = 2, which is not divisible by 3. This means 11 is not divisible by 3:

-22 = -2×11 (11 is not divisible by 2 or 3)

Hint: | Is 11 divisible by 5?

The last digit of 11 is not 5 or 0, which means 11 is not divisible by 5:

-22 = -2×11 (11 is not divisible by 2, 3 or 5)

Hint: | Is 11 divisible by 7?

Divide 7 into 11:

| | 1 | (quotient)

7 | 1 | 1 |  

- | | 7 |  

| | 4 | (remainder)

11 is not divisible by 7:

-22 = -2×11 (11 is not divisible by 2, 3, 5 or 7)

Hint: | Is 11 prime?

No primes less than 11 divide into it. Therefore 11 is prime:

-22 = -2×11

Hint: | Express -22 as a product of prime powers.

There is 1 copy of 2 and 1 copy of 11 in the product:

Answer: -22 = -2^1×11^1
