Deluxe River Cruises operates a fleet of river vessels. The fleet has two types of vessels: A type-A vessel has 60 deluxe cabins

and 160 standard cabins, whereas a type-B vessel has 80 deluxe cabins and 120 standard cabins. Under a charter agreement with Odyssey Travel Agency, Deluxe River Cruises is to provide Odyssey with a minimum of 360 deluxe and 680 standard cabins for their 15-day cruise in May. It costs $42,000 to operate a type-A vessel and $51,000 to operate a type-B vessel for that period. How many of each type of vessel (x type-A and y type-B) should be used in order to keep the operating costs to a minimum

Answer: It should be used 2 for type-A and 3 for type-B to minimize the cost.

Step-by-step explanation: As it is stipulated, <u>x</u> relates to type-A and y to type-B.

Type-A has 60 deluxe cabins and B has 80. It is needed a minimum of 360 deluxe cabins, so:

60x + 80y ≤ 360

For the standard cabin, there are in A 160 and in B 120. The need is for 680, so:

160x + 120y ≤ 680

To calculate how many of each type you need:

60x + 80y ≤ 360

160x + 120y ≤ 680

Isolating x from the first equation:

x = \frac{360 - 80y}{60}

Substituing x into the second equation:

160(\frac{360 - 80y}{60}) + 120y = 680

-3200y+1800y = 10200 - 14400

1400y = 4200

y = 3

With y, find x:

x = \frac{360 - 80y}{60}

x = \frac{360 - 80.3}{60}

x = 2

To determine the cost:

cost = 42,000x + 51,000y

cost = 42000.2 + 51000.3

cost = 161400

To keep it in a minimun cost, it is needed 2 vessels of Type-A and 3 vessels of Type-B, to a cost of $161400

A washer and a dryer cost $562 combined. The washer costs $88 less than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

<em>Let the dryer cost x.</em>

<em>Then, the washer costs (x+87)</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Together, they cost  (x) + (x+87) = 787</em>

<em>         2x+87 = 787</em>

<em>            2x = 700           [subtract 97 from both sides]</em>

<em>             x = 350             [divide both sides by 2]</em>

<em> </em>

<em>The dryer cost $350.</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Check:   The washer cost $437.  Together, they cost $787  [good to check, right?]</em>

<em></em>

<em><u>Hope this helps...</u></em>

Match each equation with its solution set.
taurus [48]

Answer:

1- The solution of I2x + 5I = 9 is {-7 , 2}

2- The solution of I2x + 7I + 2 = 11 is {-8 , 1}

3- The solution of I5 - xI = 6 is {-1 , 11}

4- The solution of I6x - 8I + 7 = 5 is ∅

5- The solution of Ix + 3I = 12 is {-15 , 9}

6- The solution of Ix - 3I = -12 is ∅

Step-by-step explanation:

* At first lets explain the meaning of IxI = a

- If IxI = a ⇒ then x = a or x = -a

- IxI never give a negative answer, because IxI means the

 magnitude of x is always positive

Ex: I-2I is 2

* Now lets find the solution of each equation

1- ∵ I2x + 5I = 9

∴ 2x + 5 = 9 ⇒ subtract 5 from both sides

∴ 2x = 4 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 2

OR

∴ 2x + 5 = -9 ⇒ subtract 5 from both sides

∴ 2x = -14 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ x = -7

* The solution of I2x + 5I = 9 is {-7 , 2}

2- ∵ I2x + 7I + 2 = 11 ⇒ Subtract 2 from both sides

∴ I2x + 7I = 9

∴ 2x + 7 = 9 ⇒ subtract 7 from both sides

∴ 2x = 2 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 1

OR

∴ 2x + 7 = -9 ⇒ subtract 7 from both sides

∴ 2x = -16 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ x = -8

* The solution of I2x + 7I + 2 = 11 is {-8 , 1}

3- ∵ I5 - xI = 6

∴ 5 -x = 6 ⇒ subtract 5 from both sides

∴ -x = 1 ⇒ divide both sides by -1

∴ x = -1

OR

∴ 5 -x = -6 ⇒ subtract 5 from both sides

∴ -x = -11 ⇒ divide both sides by -1

∴ x = 11

* The solution of I5 - xI = 6 is {-1 , 11}

4- ∵ I6x - 8I + 7 = 5 ⇒ Subtract 7 from both sides

∴ I6x - 8I = -2

- I  I never give negative answer

* The solution of I6x - 8I + 7 = 5 is ∅

5- ∵ Ix + 3I = 12

∴ x + 3 = 12 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ x = 9

OR

∴ x + 3 = -12 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ x = -15

* The solution of Ix + 3I = 12 is {-15 , 9}

6- ∵ Ix - 3I = -12

- I  I never give negative answer

* The solution of Ix - 3I = -12 is ∅
