Question

Captain Liz is going to load her cruise ship with bags of sugar. She has room for 19 bags of sugar. She has allotted for 121 pounds of sugar on her ship. She can choose from 7-pound bags (the variable s) or 10-pound bags (the variable p). Which equations would be a constraint to Captain Liz maximizing her sugar load?

Answer 1

: 1) If you were going to solve these, you would set them up like this. s+p=19 7s+10p=121 among the choices, b is the only one that is equivalent to one of these equations 2) The problem looks a little confusing. If the price is per box then they easily make $275. 8b+9h=53 20*8b+30*9h=275 If it's per batch, the answer is B. 3. x^2+y^2=16 y=x+4 solve the first equation for y y=√16-x^2 x+4=√16-x^2 (x+4)^2=16-x^2 x^2+8x+16=16-x^2 2x^2+8x=0 2x(x+4)=0 x=0 or x=-4 (be carefull i copyed and pasted the answer)
