You manage an ice cream factory that makes two flavors: Creamy Vanilla and Continental Mocha. Into each quart of Creamy Vanilla

go 2 eggs and 3 cups of cream. Into each quart of Continental Mocha go 1 egg and 3 cups of cream. You have in stock 350 eggs and 600 cups of cream. You make a profit of $3 on each quart of Creamy Vanilla and $2 on each quart of Continental Mocha. How many quarts of each flavor should you make to earn the largest profit?

Answer:

You should make 150 quarts of Creamy Vanilla and 50 quarts of Continental Mocha.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a system of equations.

The largest profit is going to earned when all the eggs and cups of cream in stock are used.

I am going to call x the number of quarts of Creamy Vanilla and y the number of quarts of Continental Mocha.

The problem states that each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 2 eggs and each quart of Continental Mocha uses 1 egg. There are 350 eggs in stock, so:

2x + y = 350

Each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 3 cups of cream, as does each quart of Continental Mocha. There are 600 cups of cream in stock.

So:

3x + 3y = 600 Simplifying by 3.

x + y = 200

We have the following system

1)2x + y = 350

2)x + y = 200

I am going to multiply 2) by (-1) and then add with 1), so i can eliminate y

1)2x + y = 350

2)-x - y = -200

2x - x + y - y = 350 - 200

x = 150

x + y = 200

y = 200 - 150 = 50

You should make 150 quarts of Creamy Vanilla and 50 quarts of Continental Mocha.

Angle 1 and angle 2 form a linear pair. If the measure of angle 1 = (5x+9)º and
True [87]

- linear pairs are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180°

5x + 9 + 3x + 11 = 180

8x + 20 = 180

8x = 160

x = 20

- now plug in.

angle 1: 5(20) + 9 = 100 + 9 = 109°

angle 2: 3(20) + 11 = 60 + 11 = 71°

Find the area of the figure
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A = 1249.5 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Total area is sum of area of two trapezoids

A = 13(½(28 + 35)) + 28(½(25 + 35))

A = 409.5 + 840

A = 1249.5 mm²
