Answer:

x=5

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y= 31

-6x - 3y = -36 (multiple by -3)

-x=-5

x=5

2(5)+y=12 or 25 + 3y= 31

10+y=12 3y=6

y=2 y=2

Answer:

x = 5, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll use substitution on this one, which makes me choose one of the equation and solve for x. (5x + 3y = 31 was chosen)

5x + 3y = 31

Subtracct 3y from both sides

5x = -3y + 31

Divide both sides by 5

x = 1/5 (-3y + 31)

Multiply 1/5 by -3y + 31

x = -3/5y + 31/5

Substitute -3/5y + 31/5 for x in the other equation (2x + y = 12)

2 (-3/5y + 31/5) + y = 12

Multiply -3/5y + 31/5 by 2.

-6/5y + 62/5 + y = 12

Add -6/5y to y

-1/5y + 62/5 = 12

Subtract 62/5 from both sides

-1/5y = -2/5

Multiply both sides by -5

y = 2

Now head back to the previous equation, except substitute y for 2.

x = -3/5 * 2 + 31/5

Multiply -3/5 by 2.

x = (-6 + 31)/5

Add -6 and 31

x = 25/5

Divide 25 by 5.

x = 5

Formulate 5 and 2 for x and y in the equation.

5(5) + 3(2) = 31

2(5) + 2 = 12

25 + 6 = 31; true

10 + 2 = 12; true

x is 5 and y is 2.

A snack food manufacturer buys corn for tortilla chips from two cooperatives, one in Iowa and one in Illinois. The price per uni

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

a. x1 = No. of units to purchase from Iowa

x2 = No. of units to purchase from Illinois

b. Min 6x1 + 5.5x2

c. x1 + x2 ≥ 12000

x1 ≤ 8000

x2 ≥ 6000

Step-by-step explanation:

a. We can consider the variables x1 and x2 as:

x1 = No. of units to purchase from Iowa

x2 = No. of units to purchase from Illinois

b. Price per unit of Iowa corn = $6

Price per unit of Illinois corn = $5.5

Objective function that would minimize the total cost can be written as:

Min 6x1 + 5.5x2

c. The manufacturer needs at least 12000 units of corn which means that the combined number of units from Iowa and Illinois must be greater than or equal to 12000. So, we can write:

x1 + x2 ≥ 12000

The Iowa cooperative can supply up to 8000 units which means that the value of x1 must not be greater than 8000. So, we can write:

x1 ≤ 8000

Similarly, the Illinois cooperative can supply at least 6000 units which means that the value of x2 must not be less than 6000. So, we can write:

x2 ≥ 6000.

The constraints for these conditions are:

x1 + x2 ≥ 12000

x1 ≤ 8000

x2 ≥ 6000

A farmer has 500 acres to plant acres of corn, x, and acres of cotton, y. Corn costs $215 per acre to produce, and cotton costs

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The system that represent the scenario is

$x+y\leq500$

$215x+615y\leq 187,500$

The solution in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the acres of corn

y----> the acres of cotton

we know that

$x+y\leq500$ ------> inequality A

$215x+615y\leq 187,500$ -----> inequality B

using a graphing tool

the solution is the shaded area in the attached figure

Please help with this problem

Luden [163]

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom = s

Nancy = r

s=r-2 = Tom=Nancy-2

This means that Tom has $2 less than Nancy as they stayed in the information they gave us. They want us to complete the graph.

Since Tom has $2 less than Nancy all we have to do is apply rule -2 to each number.

4-2=2

8-2=6

12-2=10

Therefore the numbers to add to the graph are 2, 6, and 10.
