You would combine the 3x - 5x since they both have a variable leaving you with 8-8x=-8 then you would subtract the positive 8 from the negative 8 because you want to get the variable alone. this leaves you with -8x=-16 then to get the variable alone you would divide by -8 giving you x=2

The Reyes want grilled chicken and tilapia for dinner. Mrs.

seropon [69]

Answer:

Kilogram of chicken = 1

Kilogram of tilapia = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of chicken = 150 per kilo

Cost of tilapia = 100 per kilo

Number of kilos of each if total cost should not exceed 450

Let :

Number of kilo of chicken = x

Number of tilapia kilo = y

The constraint :

150x + 100y ≤ 450

We could choose some reasonable values of x and y then, test the constraint ;

If x = 1 and y = 3

150(1) + 100(3) = 450

Hence,

1 kilo of chicken with 3 kilos of tilapia offers the greatest combination of Number of kilograms of tilapia and chicken that could be purchased and still satisfy the maximum cost constraint.
