Answer: k=143

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the standard form of a linear equation: y = mx + b, where m ios the slope and b is trhe y-intercept (the value of y when x=0). We know the slope, so:

y = -15x + b

We can find the y-intercept, b, by using the one given point (6,-7) in the equation and solve for b:

y = -15x + b

-7 = -15(6) + b

-7 = -90+b

b = 83

The equation is y = -15x + 83

Use the x value of (-4,k) to find y, which will be k.

y = -15x + 83

y = -15(-4) + 83

y = 60 + 93

y = 143

k is 143

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Model A=30, Model B: 20, Model C: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of type A mp3 produced, and the amount of model B mp3's produced and z the amount of model C mp3 produced.

Since in total there are 303 hours for electronics work, then:

$3.2x+5.4y+2.2z=303$

Since in total there are 393 hours for assembly, then:

$2.8x+2.4y+5.8z=393$

Since in total there are 416 hours for quality assurance, then:

$4.4x+3.4y+4.8z=416$

Then, the linear system associated to the problem is

$3.2x+5.4y+2.2z=303\\2.8x+2.4y+5.8z=393\\4.4x+3.4y+4.8z=416$

with coefficient matrix $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3.2&5.4&2.2\\2.8&2.4&5.8\\4.4&3.4&4.8\end{array}\right]$ and vector of constant terms $b=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}303\\393\\416\end{array}\right]$
