Orbital Toys sells two types of sets of magnetic spheres, silver and brass. The store owner, Lucy Ball, pays $8 and $16 for each

one set of silver magnetic spheres and brass magnetic spheres respectively. One set of silver magnetic spheres yields a profit of $3 while a set of brass magnetic spheres yields a profit of $5. Ms. Ball estimates that no more than 2000 sets of magnetic spheres will be sold every month and she does not plan to invest more than $20,000 in inventory of these sets. How many sets of each type of magnetic spheres should be stocked in order to maximize her total monthly profit? What is her maximum monthly profit?​

Answer:

The maximum profit will be reached by buying 500 brass magnetic spheres and 1500 silver magnetic spheres.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you need to create a system of equations, with two values that will create the answer we are looking for, the thing that we don't know here is how many of each are we buying so the number of silver magnetic spheres will be represented by "y" and the brass magnetic spheres will be represented by "x".

So we know that x+y=2000

That's our first equation, our second would be the expense, which would be

8x+16y=20,000

We now just solve for one of them

x=(2000-y)

8(2000-y)+16y=20,000

16,000-8y+16y=20,000

8y=4,000

y=500

So we know that the maximum profit will be reached by buying 500 brass magnetic spheres and 1500 silver magnetic spheres.

First, Joe started the water and it was at full force. He filled it up to 9 inches. It took him 2 minutes to get to 9 inches. Then, he stopped it for 2 minutes because his mom called him to get a bar of soap. The water level was still at 9 inches when he stopped it. Then, he put the water to come down slowly because he wasn’t sure how much more he needed. He let the water go for 2 minutes. Then, he stopped the water when it was at 12 inches of water. He sat in the bath for 5 minutes until he decided he was to cold so he hopped out. The water then drained really fast. From 12 inches to 0 inches it took the bath 3 minutes.

Can anyone help with either one of these
Vlada [557]
slope-point form:
we need the slope (m) and a point.
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
Given two point A(x₁,y₂) and B(x₂,y₂), the slope of the line  is :
m=(y₂-y₁) /(x₂-x₁)

Example 3:
we can take two points:
A(12,2)
B(13,7)
m=(7-2) / (13-12)=5/1=5

therefore:
y-2=5(x-12)
y-2=5x-60
y=5x-60+2
y=5x-58

answer: y=5x-58

Example 4:
we can take two points.
A(0,0)
B(3,1)
m=(1-0)/(3-0)=1/3

Therefore:
y-0=1/3(x-0)
y=x/3

answer: y=x/3
