Answer:

The maximum profit is reached with 4 deluxe units and 6 economy units.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear programming problem.

We have to optimize a function (maximize profits). This function is given by:

P=98D+72E

being D: number of deluxe units, and E: number of economy units.

The restrictions are:

- Assembly hours: 3D+2E\leq24

- Paint hours: 0.5D+1E\leq8

Also, both quantities have to be positive:

D\geq 0\\\\E\geq0

We can solve graphically, but we can evaluate the points (D,E) where 2 or more restrictions are saturated (we know that one of this points we will have the maximum profit)

(8;0) \rightarrow  P=98*8+72*0= 784\\\\(0;8) \rightarrow P= 98*0+72*8=576\\\\(4;6) \rightarrow P=98*4+72*6=824

The maximum profit is reached with 4 deluxe units and 6 economy units.

Identify the property used in the first five steps to solve the equation 2(x – 5) - 6x= -22
USPshnik [31]
<span>To answer this question, you need to multiply the number inside the bracket first. Then you can move the number to the right side of the equal sign and keep the x on the left side of the equal sign. The step would be like this

2(x – 5) - 6x= -22
(2x - 10) - 6x = -22
2x - 6x  = -22 +10
-4x= -12
x= -12/-4
x=3</span>
