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

Scale drawing of the electronics board
lora16 [44]

Area of the electronic board is 9000 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

Write ratios to represent the unknown actual length and width of the display to the scale length and width of the display.

The Electronic board always seems like a rectangular shape

Length= scale÷Actual = 5/36 = 5×36 = 180cm

Length= scale÷Actual = 5/36 = 5×36 = 180cm

Width=scale÷Actual = 1/50 = 1×50 = 50cm

Width=scale÷Actual = 1/50 = 1×50 = 50cm

Area of Rectangle = legnth × width

                         = 180cm × 50cm = 9000 cm2

= 180cm  × 50cm = 9000 cm2

Area of the electronic board is 9000 cm2

What is the difference between adding and subtracting fractions and multiplying and dividing fractions?
77julia77 [94]
With adding and subtracting fractions, you must find a common denominator. In multiplication, you just multiply numerator by numerator; denominator by denominator. In division, you multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the 2nd. In multiplication and division, finding a common denominator is not needed.

39+5h+4g-2h i have been trying 2 work this out 4 ages so plz help
SIZIF [17.4K]
Unless you're given the value of the variables, you can't really solve for anything. The only thing you can do is simplify. 

<span>39+5h+4g-2h
The only like terms are 5h and -2h.

39 + 3h + 4g
This would be the simplified version.</span>
