Given that,
Shelley's pet food store sold one customer 5 peanut butter biscuits for $3. She sold another customer 7 beef treats for $4.20.
For peanut, the cost is ratio is

For beef, the ratio is

If we take cross product of these items,

It implies, that the sale is in true proportion. From the cross product, we find that it is equal.
No solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Simplify 2 + 2 to 4.

2) Simplify 4 + 5 to 9.

3) Since 9 = 0 is false, these is no solution.

Since the surface is the top part of a sphere centred on the origin, the directions of steepest descent are any vector originating from the origin (0,0).
At (5,5), the direction would be dictated by the line joining (5,5) and the origin (0,0), i.e. along <5,5> or equivalently along <1,1>.
You can also go through vector calculus to arrive at the same result.
