Let s and g represents the numbers of suits and gowns produced.
The number of zippers used is 2s+g.
The number of buttons used is 5s+8g.
In order to use all of the available zippers and buttons, we must have ...
- 2s + g = 171
- 5s + 8g = 576
Cramer's rule tells you the solution to the system
Is given by
- x = (bf-ey)/(bd-ea)
- y = (cd-fa)/(bd-ea)
Using this rule on the equations for zippers and buttons, we have
... s = (1·576 -8·171)/(1·5 -8·2) = -792/-11 = 72
... g = (171·5 -2·576)/-11 = -297/-11 = 27
72 suits and 27 gowns can be made from available zippers and buttons.
The answers 15 because we have two negatives it's always a positive and 3×5 is 15
8. first 12 bags for 54m^{2}
[/tex]
54 ÷ 12 = 4.5
we know: 1 bag for 4.5m^2
36 ÷ 4.5 = 8
so 36m^2 we must use 8 bags

x2 =5x2/8= 10/8 = 5/4 = 1.25
hope it helped you
(8)(2)+4(8)(-5)(2)(2)
The answer is -624
