Step-by-step explanation:

this is a linear programming problem.

the objective is to maximize profit

let the chocolate be x

and cookies be y

Maximize

2.5x+2y=P

constraint milk

3x+y=9------------------1

constraint flour

2x+4y=16----------------2

solving 1 and 2

3x+y=9

2x+4y=16

multiply 1 by 2 and 2  3 to eliminate x we have

  6x+2y=18

 6x+12y=48

-0-10x=-30

10y=30

y=30/10

y=3

put y= 3 in eqn 1 we have

3x+3=9

3x=9-3

3x=6

x=6/3

x=2

two trays of chocolate

three trays of cookies

2.5x+2y=P

2.5(2)+2(3)=P

5+6=P

P=$11

Select a setting so that each given point will lie within the viewing window.
NemiM [27]

Answer:

The given points are

(-13,3)\\(0,0)\\(-2,-7)

The setting would have a interval or 2 units above and below the minimum and maximum of each coordinate.

The given maxium horizontal coordinate is 0.

The given minimum horizontal coordinate is -13.

The given maximum vertical coordinate is 3.

The given minimum vertical coordinate is -7.

Now, we extend each maximum and minimum value by 2 units to create the setting.

So, the setting is

x_{min}=-15\\x_{max}=2\\ y_{min}=-9\\y_{max}=5

With a scale of 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 2 = 4

The 8 would stay the same

There for you would have 4 red marbles and 8 blue marbles left in the bag. Totalled you have 12 marbles in the bag and 2 out of the bag. (8 + 4 = 12)

Including the marbles in and out of the bag you have 14 marbles. The 12 inside the bag + the 2 outside of the bag = 14 marbles totalled.
