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.

Simple problem:

When simplifying 3(x-6) they subtracted 3 instead of multiplied by 3.
3(x-6) should be 3x-18.
Now when you simplify:
3x-18+4x+12-6x
Which is x -6 =0
Or x =6

Could a polyhedron exist with the given number of faces, vertices, and edges? Drag yes or no to each combination
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

(a) No

(b) No

(c) No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

Select Yes or No for each

To do this, we make use of Euler's formula

F + V - E = 2

Where

F \to Faces; V \to Vertices; E \to Edges

(a):\ Faces = 8; Vertices = 12; Edges = 6

Using: F + V - E = 2

8 + 12 - 6 = 2

14 = 2

<em>The above equality is false. Hence, (a) does not exist</em>

(b):\ Faces = 6; Vertices = 6; Edges = 4

Using: F + V - E = 2

6 + 6 - 4 = 2

8 = 2

<em>The above equality is false. Hence, (b) does not exist</em>

<em />

<em />(c):\ Faces = 20; Vertices = 30; Edges = 12<em />

Using: F + V - E = 2

20 + 30 - 12 = 2

38 = 2

<em>The above equality is false. Hence, (c) does not exist</em>
