Suppose that a factory manufactures only tables and chairs and that the profit on one chair is $15 and on the table is $20. Each

chair requires 1 large piece and 2 small pieces. Each table requires 2 large pieces and 2 small pieces (see Figure 1 below). Finally, suppose that you have only 6 large pieces and 8 small pieces. How many chairs and how many tables should you build to maximize profit? Write a system of equations using inequalities and constraints

Answer:

The data we have is:

Profit per chair = $15

Profit per table = $20

Chair needs: 1 large pice, 2 small pieces.

Table needs: 2 large pieces, 2 small pieces.

You have 6 large pieces and 8 small pieces, and you want to maximize the profit.

Let's define:

T = # of tables

C = # of chairs.

Total profit:

P = C*$15 + M*$20

The number of chairs that you can make is given by:

0 ≤ C ≤ 4

If you make 4 chairs, the profit is:

P = 4*$15 = $60

And there will be 2 large pieces left.

Now for the tables.

0 ≤ T ≤ 3

If you make 4 tables, the profit will be:

P = 3*$20 = $60 (same as before)

And there will be two small pieces left.

Then we want to use a medium number of tables and chairs, we can not use the maximum for any of those, the first thing we should try is:

we ideally would want to use all the pieces that we have.

8 small, 6 large:

Then we can make:

2 tables: we use 4 large pieces and 4 small pieces.

T = 2

And we have left 2 large pieces and 4 small pieces.

The leftover is enough to make two chairs.

C = 2.

In this case, where we used all our materials, the profit will be:

P = 2*$15 + 2*$20 = $30 + $40 = $70

The profit is maximized when we make 2 tables and two chairs.

Simplify each expression by using the Distributive Property and combine like terms to simplify the expression.-2(-x-1)-(x+9)
Ymorist [56]

-2(-x-1)-(x+9)

= -2x + 2 - x - 9

Rearrange

= -2x - x + 2 - 9

= -3x - 7

Why is it important to reduce radicals
OleMash [197]
Simplifying radical expressions expression is important before addition or subtraction because it you need to which like terms can be added or subtracted. If we hadn't simplified the radical expressions, we would not have come to this solution. In a way, this is similar to what would be done for polynomial expression.
