3x -x + 8 + 5x - 2 = 10
3x - x + 5x = 10 -8 +2
7x = 4
x = 7/4
Answer:
250 batches of muffins and 0 waffles.
Step-by-step explanation:
-1
If we denote the number of batches of muffins as "a" and the number of batches of waffles as "b," we are then supposed to maximize the profit function
P = 2a + 1.5b
subject to the following constraints: a>=0, b>=0, a + (3/4)b <= 250, and 3a + 6b <= 1200. The third constraint can be rewritten as 4a + 3b <= 1000.
Use the simplex method on these coefficients, and you should find the maximum profit to be $500 when a = 250 and b = 0. So, make 250 batches of muffins, no waffles.
You use up all the dough, have 450 minutes left, and have $500 profit, the maximum amount.
The answer is 270 trucks.
