Let
x ------> number of switch type A
y -----> number of switch type B
so
Remember that
1 hour=60 min
32 hours=32*60=1,920 minutes
4x+5y=1,920 -------> equation 1
3x+5y=1,740 ------> equation 2
Solve the system of equations
Solve by graphing
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure
Solution is
x=180
y=240
therefore
<h2>the number of switch type A was 180</h2><h2>the number of switch type B was 240</h2>
Answer:
The system has no solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you stare at it for the bit you can tell the system is impossible. Let's see why:
First of all, rewrite the second equation by bringing all unknowns on the LHS:
.
Then take twice the first equation, doubling every coefficient:
See how the LHS is the same? The system is asking you to find a quantity (4x+6y) which is at the same time equal to four AND five - emphasis on that "and" - which is obviously impossible, because it implies that 4=5. So the point - which you didn't provide - is not a solution. Nor is any other point.
