The maximum profit is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola represented by the equation.

The maximum value is 6400, but the profit is given in hundreds of dollars, so multiply the value by 100.
The maximum profit the company can make is $640,000.
Answer: 12.5
You start with the equations "2x +2y=38" and "6+x=y". By adding and subtracting in the second equation, you get "2x +2y=38" and "x-y=-6". When you multiply the second equation by 2, you get "2x-2y=-12."
subtracting the equations "2x +2y=38" and "2x-2y=-12" gets you to "4y=50", where you have to divide two sides by 4 and get "y=12.5"
