3x + 4y = 38 ( equation 1) ----> ×5 5x - 5y = -30 ( equation 2) ----> ×3 When you multiply eqn 1 by 5 you get, 15x + 20y = 190 And when you multiply eqn 2 by 3, you get, 15x - 15y = -90 Then you solve both equations by subtracting eqn 2 from eqn 1 15x + 20y = 190 15x - 15y = 90 Then 15x - 15x gets cancelled and 20y - (-15y) gives 35y and 190 - (-90) gives 280. So that gives 35y = 280 y = 8 And when you replace y = 8 in any of the two equations, x = 2

A small-appliance manufacturer finds that the profit P (in dollars) generated by producing x microwave ovens per week is given b

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Number of ovens must be manufactured in a given week to generate a profit of $1610 is 70

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

A small-appliance manufacturer finds that the profit P (in dollars) generated by producing x microwave ovens per week is given by the formula

$P=\frac{1}{10}x(300-x)$

provided that 0 ≤ x ≤ 200

We are given

profit is $1610

so, we can set P=1610

and then we can solve for x

$1610=\frac{1}{10}x(300-x)$

Multiply both sides by 10

$1610\cdot \:10=\frac{1}{10}x\left(300-x\right)\cdot \:10$

$16100=x\left(300-x\right)$

$16100=300x-x^2$

$-x^2+300x-16100=0$

now, we can factor it

$(x-70)(x-230)=0$

we can solve for x

and we get

$x=70,x=230$

Since, x=230 does not lie on 0 ≤ x ≤ 200

So, we will consider only x=70

So,

Number of ovens must be manufactured in a given week to generate a profit of $1610 is 70
