Answer: The company should produce 7 skateboards and 16 rollerskates in order to maximize profit.
Step-by-step explanation: Let the skateboards be represented by s and the rollerskates be represented by r. The available amount of labour is 30 units, and to produce a skateboard requires 2 units of labor while to produce a rollerskate requires 1 unit. This can be expressed as follows;
2s + r = 30 ------(1)
Also there are 40 units of materials available, and to produce a skateboard requires 1 unit while a rollerskate requires 2 units. This too can be expressed as follows;
s + 2r = 40 ------(2)
With the pair of simultaneous equations we can now solve for both variables by using the substitution method as follows;
In equation (1), let r = 30 - 2s
Substitute for r into equation (2)
s + 2(30 - 2s) = 40
s + 60 - 4s = 40
Collect like terms,
s - 4s = 40 - 60
-3s = -20
Divide both sides of the equation by -3
s = 6.67
(Rounded up to the nearest whole number, s = 7)
Substitute for the value of s into equation (1)
2s + r = 30
2(7) + r = 30
14 + r = 30
Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation
r = 16
Therefore in order to maximize profit, the company should produce 7 skateboards and 16 rollerskates.

Answer: addition property of inequality</h3>
================================================
Explanation:
These are the steps to focus on
step 3: -6x - 8 < -2
step 4: -6x < 6
The move from the third step to the fourth step has us adding 8 to both sides. Therefore, we use the addition property of inequality.
That property has four forms
- If
then 
- If
then 
- If
then 
- If
then 
It's similar to the idea of starting with a = b, then adding c to both sides to get a+c = b+c
We add the same thing to both sides to keep things balanced.
Answer: 2 buses and 4 vans would be needed
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of buses that would be needed.
Let y represent the number of vans that would be needed.
There will be six drivers, and two different types of vehicles. This means that
x + y = 6
142 students are going on a field trip. A bus can hold 51 people while a van can hold 10. This means that
51x + 10y = 142 - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 6 - y into equation 1, it becomes
51(6 - y) + 10y = 142
306 - 51y + 10y = 142
- 51y + 10y = 142 - 306
- 41y = - 164
y = - 164/ - 41
y = 4
x = 6 - y = 6 - 4
x = 2
