Answer : C (24 - 6) ÷ 3
(almost 100% sure this is correct lol)
X= -4 for solving x and y= 0 for solving y
The answer is 39.
Explanation:
To find the x, you need to start by adding your “like” terms on each side of the equal sign. This means the parts that you can add together. So, on the left side, you would add 3 and -9 together, which will make -6. Then, you would add x and 8x together, which would make 9x. So your left side will look like “9x-6”. There is nothing you can add together on the right side, so now you move on to the second step: combining the terms on both sides. You can do this by knowing that the opposite of subtraction is addition, and it’s the same the other way. Let’s look at our equation now:
9x-6=7x+4
9x and 7x are “like terms” so we can subtract. So now we have:
2x-6=4
We still need to make x be by itself, so now we can move the -6 over to the 4. We add because the opposite of subtraction is addition. So now we have:
2x=10
When a number is next to a missing number, that means they are being multiplied, and the opposite of multiplication is division. So we can divide 10 by 2, which equals five. So, x=5 and we can add that to our other missing number, CE. Replace “x” with “5” and you will see that CE=39.
Answer:
- The solution that optimizes the profit is producing 0 small lifts and 50 large lifts.
- Below are all the steps explained in detail.
Explanation:
<u />
<u>1. Name the variables:</u>
- x: number of smaller lifts
- y: number of larger lifts
<u></u>
<u>2. Build a table to determine the number of hours each lift requires from each department:</u>
<u></u>
Number of hours
small lift large lift total per department
Welding department 1x 3y x + 3y
Packaging department 2x 1y 2x + y
<u></u>
<u>3. Constraints</u>
- 150 hours available in welding: x + 3y ≤ 150
- 120 hours available in packaging: 2x + y ≤ 120
- The variables cannot be negative: x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0
Then you must:
- draw the lines and regions defined by each constraint
- determine the region of solution that satisfies all the constraints
- determine the vertices of the solution region
- test the profit function for each of the vertices. The vertex that gives the greatest profit is the solution (the number of each tupe that should be produced to maximize profits)
<u></u>
<u>4. Graph</u>
See the graph attached.
Here is how you draw it.
- x + 3y ≤ 150
- draw the line x + 3y = 150 (a solid line because it is included in the solution set)
- shade the region below and to the left of the line
- 2x + y ≤ 120
- draw the line 2x + y ≤ 120 (a solid line because it is included in the solution set)
- shade the region below and to the left of the line
- x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0: means that only the first quadrant is considered
- the solution region is the intersection of the regions described above.
- take the points that are vertices inside the solutoin region.
<u>5. Test the profit function for each vertex</u>
The profit function is P(x,y) = 25x + 90y
The vertices shown in the graph are:
The profits with the vertices are:
- P(0,0) = 0
- P(0,50) = 25(0) + 90(50) = 4,500
- P(42,36) = 25(42) + 90(36) = 4,290
- P(60,0) = 25(60) + 90(0) = 1,500
Thus, the solution that optimizes the profit is producing 0 smaller lifts and 90 larger lifts.
