A small furniture company manufac- tures sofas and recliners. Each sofa requires 8 hours of labor and $180 in materials, while a

recliner can be built for $105 in 6 hours. The company has 340 hours of labor available each week and can afford to buy $6750 worth of materials. How many recliners and sofas can be produced if all labor hours and all materials must be used?

Answer:

30 and 20 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of sofas to be built be s and the number of recliners be r.

For the time part, we have the following equation:

8s + 6r = 340

For the money part:

180s + 105r = 6750

Now let’s solve these equations simultaneously.

Let’s change the form of the second equation:

180s + 17.5(6r) = 6750

From the first equation, 6r = 340 - 8s

Insert this into the third equation

180s + 17.5(340-8s) = 6750

180s + 5950 - 140s = 6750

40s = 6750 - 5950

40s = 800

s = 20

Substitute the value into the first equation

8(20) + 6r = 340

6r + 160 = 340

6r = 180

r = 30

What line is parallel to 2x+5y=6 that goes through (5,3)
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

4y = x - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, in the equation given : 2x + 5y = 6 , make y the subject of the formula which will give y = \frac{-2x}{5} + \frac{6}{5}  which make the gradient, m, the coefficient of x = \frac{-2}{5}  . Since the line we're looking for is parallel to the one we were given, their respective gradients would be the same. (If they were perpendicular, the gradient of the new line would be a negative inverse of the given line)

Then you proceed to use the one-point formula : y - y₀ = m(x - x₀), where   y₀ = 3 and x₀ = 5 from the point it goes through (5, 3)

y - 3 = \frac{1}{4}(x - 5); y - 3 = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{5}{4};  y = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{5}{4} +3

y = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{17}{4};  y = \frac{x-17}{4}  ;   4y = x - 17
