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: x = 9
Step-by-Step Solution:
Hypotenuse = 15 units
Base = 12 units
Altitude = x units
Using Pythagoras Theorem,
=> Hypotenuse^2 = Base^2 + Altitude^2
(15)^2 = (12)^2 + x^2
225 = 144 + x^2
225 - 144 = x^2
81 = x^2
x^2 = 81
x = √81
=> x = 9
Therefore, Altitude = 9 units
