Tray of corn muffins takes 4 c. milk and 3 c. flour for a profit of $3.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Tray of bran muffins takes 2 c. milk and 3 c. flour for a profit of $2.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Have only 16 c. milk and 15 c. flour.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "How many trays of each type of muffin should you make to maximize profits?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = number of corn muffin trays
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let y = number of bran muffin trays
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The milk equation: 4x + 2y =< 16
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The flour equation: 3x + 3y =< 15
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify and solve these equations: 1st eq divide by 2, 2nd eq divide 3:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + y = 8
