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.
The quadratic formula is above.
You want each equation in standard form: ax^2 + bx + c = 0
I begin each problem by defining variables.
For instance 3. Is in standard form. X^2 -2x - 3 = 0. a = 1, b = -2, c = -3
Now use quadratic formula: x = [- b + or - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]\2a
