The value of x is either +7 or -8
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.
Answer:
302
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: See below
Explanation:
Solve this system of equation using elimination method:
3x - y = 0
2x - y = 1
________
3x - y = 0
-1(2x - y = 1)
_________
3x - y = 0
-2x + y = -1
_________
X = -1
We know that x = -1 now let’s plug it in the one of the equation to find y:
2x - y = 1
2(-1) - y = 1
-2 - y = 1
-y = 3
y = -3
