Answer:

You require 10 helpers

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem could be solved in many ways ( like using an optimization software) but I propose you this.

Start with production of large cakes.  In the time kitchen is available one helper could make, if only works in large cakes:

(2 large cakes / 1 hour) * (3 hours ) = 6 large cakes

So with 3 helpers using all their 3 hours we would have

3 helpers *6 large cakes /helper  = 18 large cakes.

We need 2 more large cakes so we can use one more helper and in his first hour he can produce

(2 large cakes / 1 hour) * (1 hour ) = 2 large cakes

The 4th helper has two hours of work left so he can produce small cakes.

(35 small cakes/hour* 2 hours = 70 small cakes.

With 4 helpers we have the 20 large cakes and 70 small ones. We still have to makes

700 - 70 = 630 small cakes left

In the 3 hour period a helper can make

(35 small cakes / 1 hour) * (3 hours ) = 105 large cakes

So if 1 helper does  105 large cakes  we would need to finish production with

630 / 105 =  6 helpers

So in total we have 3 helpers in only large cakes 6 in only small cakes and one helper doing both - total 10 helpers

How do I correctly solve this?

<h3>Answer: y = 14</h3>

===================================

Explanation:

The two angles involving x add up to 180 degrees. This is because they are same side interior angles (and because the horizontal lines are parallel)

So,

(angle BCF) + (angle EFC) = 180

(5x - 66) + (2x + 50) = 180

5x - 66 + 2x + 50 = 180

7x - 16 = 180

7x - 16+16 = 180+16 ... add 16 to both sides

7x = 196

7x/7 = 196/7 .... divide both sides by 7

x = 28

This will be used to help find y

Notice how the angles BCF and ACD are vertical angles, therefore they are congruent or the same measure

angle ACD = angle BCF

9y - 52 = 5x - 66

9y - 52 = 5*28 - 66 ..... replace x with 28 (since x = 28)

9y - 52 = 140 - 66

9y - 52 = 74

9y - 52+52 = 74+52 .... add 52 to both sides

9y = 126

9y/9 = 126/9 .... divide both sides by 9

y = 14
