−4x+14y=−16 x−72y=4

Mathematics

Goryan [66]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

y = 0

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

- 4x+14y=−16 ------------ eq1

x−72y=4 -------------- eq2

Multiplying eq2 with 4 we get:

4x - 288y = 16 ---------- eq3

Now add eq1 and eq3 we get:

-58y = 0

By simplifying:

y = 0

Now put y=0 in eq2:

x - 72(0) = 4

x - 0 = 4

x = 4

So:

y = 0

x = 4

i hope it will help you!

The production planner for Fine Coffees, Inc. Produces two coffee blends: American (A) and British (B). He can only get 300 poun

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

P=2A+B where:

A= # of pounds of American blend and

B= # of pounds of British blend

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear programming problem. In order to solve it we need to determine how we are going to use the provided data and we need to keep in mind what we need to maximize (or minimize depending on the problem)

So, the problem states that "The goal of Fine Coffees, Inc. Is to maximize profits." This last sentence will tell us what the objective function will be. The objective function must model the desired value we want to maximize. So the objective function should represent the profits of selling the two tipes of cofee blends.

So this is the data the problem gives us:

"He can only get 300 pounts of Colombian beans per week and 200 pounts of Dominican beans per week." This part or the problem is talking about the amount of coffee beans he can get depending on its type. This will help us find the restrictions for our linear programming problem, so they are not necessary to state the objective function. Next it states:

"Each pount of American blend cofee requires 12 oz of Colombian beans and 4 oz. of Dominican beans, while a pound of British blend coffee uses 8 oz of each type of bean." Again, this data will help us find the restrictions for our linear programming problem, since they will tell us how much coffe we can manufacture, so they are not needed to find the objective function.

The next part states: "Profits for the American blend are $2.00 per pound, and profits for the British blend are $1.00 per pound." Now, we are interested in this part since it's talking about profits, which is what we need to maximize.

We set A to be the number of pounds of American blend and B to be the number of pounds of British blend. So the profit for American blend is found by using the following equation:

$P_{American}=$2.00*A$

And the profit for the British blend is found by using the following equation:

$P_{British}=$1.00*B$

so the total profit is found by adding the two given profits, so we get:

$P_{total}=P_{American}+P_{British}$

$P_{total}=$2.00A+$1.00B$

which can be simplified to:

P=2A+B

which is our objective function.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-7,-6)(−7,−6) and is parallel to the line x-y=7x−y=7?

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

y = x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of a line can be defined by the equation:

m (gradient) = (y1 – y2 ) ÷ (x1 – x2) ----> "1" and "2" should be in subscript

For (-7,-6) we use x2 and y2 (because this point can be anywhere along a line):

x2 = -7, y2 = -6

Plug these values into the formula above:

m = (y-(-6)) ÷ (x-(-7))

m = (y+6) ÷ (x+7)

At this stage, the equation can't be solved as there are two unknowns. Therefore, the gradient must be found another way. Two lines are parallel if they have the same gradient - in their y=mx+c equations, m will be equal.

x - y=7 is the line alluded to in the question. Rearranging this equation into the line equation format gives:

y = x-7 ---> The gradient (coefficient of x) is 1.

Therefore, the gradient of the other parallel line must also be 1.

This can be substituted into the previous equation to give:

1 = (y+6)÷(x+7)

x+7 = y+6

x+1 = y

Therefore, the answer is y=x+1
