Answer:

-2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

9(1-x) = 27Y

9-9x =27y

-9x -27y = -9  multiply all terms by -1

9x +27y =9   equation (1)

x-y= -11/2 equation (2)

by solving 2 equations

x= -3.875

y= 1.625

∴ x+ y = 1.625 +(-3.875) = -2.25

Let 9(1-x) = 27y be equation one and let x-y = -11/2 be equation two

Simplify -11/2 into -5.5 and make x the subject in equation two by moving y to the other side as a positive value. So now you have x= -5.5+y (now let that be equation two)

Sub equation two into equation one so that you get 9(1-(-5.5+y)= 27y


Expand brackets 9(1+5.5-y)= 27y

Simplify brackets 9(6.5-y)= 27y

Expand brackets 58.5-9y= 27y

Take -9y to the other side as a positive number

58.5= -36y

Divide both sides by -36

y= 1.625

For x, substitute the value of y into equation two

x= -5.5+1.625

x= -3.875

To finally answer the question aadd the value of x and y together

-3.875+1.625= -2.25

Som the value of x + y is -2.25

At a local seaside, a vendor sells single-cone ice-creams for $3 and double-cone ice-creams for $4.50. The vendor stocks a maxim
guapka [62]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of single cone ice cream and let y represent the number of double cone ice cream.

Since the vendor stocks a maximum of 70 single cones and a maximum of 45 double cones. hence:

0 < x ≤ 70, 0 < y ≤ 45      (1)

The vendor expects to sell no more than 50 ice creams, hence:

x + y ≤ 50

Plotting the constraint using geogebra online graphing tool, we can see that the solution to the problem is at (5, 45)

Since the vendor sells single-cone ice-creams for $3 and double-cone ice-creams for $4.50, hence:

Revenue = 3x + 4.5y

At the point (5, 45), the revenue is:

Revenue = 3(5) + 4.5(45) = $217.5
