Answer:

3n - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

This phrase includes subtraction (“less than”) and multiplication (“times”). We are multiplying a number (3) by the variable to create the term 3n. Subtraction is not commutative, so order does matter. 17 less than 3n means we have 3n and take 17 away: 3n - 17.

Formulate the situation as a system of inequalities. (Let x represent the number of dinghies the company can manufacture and y r
kirill [66]

Answer:

x (smallest to largest) = 0,45 ,55

y (smallest to largest) = 0,10,40

Step-by-step explanation:

(hours)        Dinghy Rowboat        Labor Available

Metal Work 2             3                       120

Painting         2              2                        110

Let x represent the number of dinghies the company can manufacture and y represent the number of rowboats.

So, total hours for metal work = 2x+3y

So, total hours for Painting = 2x+2y

So, equation becomes:

2x+3y\leq 120

2x+2y\leq 110

x\geq 0

y\geq 0

Plot the inequalities

Refer the attached figure

So, the vertices of the feasible region are (0,40),(45,10) and (55,0)

So, x values are 0 , 45 and 55

x represents the number of dinghies

So, x (smallest to largest) = 0,45 ,55

y values are 40,10,0

y represent the number of rowboats.

So, y (smallest to largest) = 0,10,40
