A long-sleeve blouse requires 1.5 hours of cutting and 1.2 hours of sewing.
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "A short-sleeve blouse requires 1 hour of cutting and .9 hour of sewing.
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "A sleeveless blouse requires .5 hour of cutting and .6 hour of sewing.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "There are 380 hours of labor available in the cutting department each day
\n" ); document.write( "and 330 hours in the sewing department.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "If the plant is to run at full capacity,
\n" ); document.write( "how many of each type of blouse should be made each day?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let x be # of long-sleeve; y be # of short sleeve ; z be # of sleeveless blouses.
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATIONS:
\n" ); document.write( "Cutting Eq: 1.5x + y + 0.5z <=380
\n" ); document.write( "Sewing Eq: 1.2x +0.9y + 0.6z <= 330
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Comment: You need additional information to give you a 3rd equation
\n" ); document.write( "so you can solve for x,y, and z.
