Answer:

Hence, (75,40) is the maximum point and maximum profit is $192.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breakfast be x

And  let the lunch or afternoon be y

Inequalities will become

\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{2}y\leq 45

\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{2}y\leq 70

And objective function will be

Z=1.5x+2.0y  

You can see the graph in the attachement

ABCD is the feasible region

Points of feasible region is (0,90) ,(0,0) ,(75,40) and(105,0)

We have to find Z by substituting the points of feasible region

At (0,90) we get

Z=1.5(0)+2(90)

Z=180

At (0,0)

Z=1.5(0)+2(0)

Z=0

At (75,40)

Z=1.5(75)+2(40)

Z=192.5

At (105,0)

Z=1.5(105)+2(0)

Z=157.5

The maximum number we are getting is 192.5 which is at (75,40)

Hence, (75,40) is the point of maximum

Is (1, 6) a solution to this system of equations?<br> 5x + 2y = 17<br> x + 3y = 19<br> yes<br> no
Ulleksa [173]
Answer:
Yes

Explanation:
5x + 2y = 17

We are given the values (1, 6)

Substitute then into the equation

(I put a question mark to basically ask the question “is 5(1) + 2(6) equal to 17?”)

5(1) + 2(6) = 17?
5 + 12 = 17?
Yes!

Hope this helped and made sense :)
