Answer:
Kilogram of chicken = 1
Kilogram of tilapia = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of chicken = 150 per kilo
Cost of tilapia = 100 per kilo
Number of kilos of each if total cost should not exceed 450
Let :
Number of kilo of chicken = x
Number of tilapia kilo = y
The constraint :
150x + 100y ≤ 450
We could choose some reasonable values of x and y then, test the constraint ;
If x = 1 and y = 3
150(1) + 100(3) = 450
Hence,
1 kilo of chicken with 3 kilos of tilapia offers the greatest combination of Number of kilograms of tilapia and chicken that could be purchased and still satisfy the maximum cost constraint.
6-6a=3a-3b+1, 9a-3b=5
<span>4b - 8 =3a, 3a-4b=-8
</span>
9a-3b=5
(3a-4b=-8 )*(-3 )
9a -3b= 5
-9a+12b=+24
adding both equations
9b=29, b=29/9
3a=4b-8=4*29/9 -8=(4*29-8*9)/9 = 44/9
a=44/27
a-b=44/27 - 29/9=44/27 - 29*3/27=-43/27
this is a correct answer, unfortunately they do not have this choice, probably they made mistake somewhere. I even check the solution of equations by substitution values of a and b into equations
