document.write( "Question 1104015: A furniture shop refinishes chairs. Employees use one of two methods to refinish each chair. Method I takes 0.5 hours and the material costs $⁢8. Method II takes 22 hours, and the material costs $⁢7. Next week, they plan to spend 181 hours in labor and $⁢1096 in material for refinishing chairs. How many chairs should they plan to refinish with each method? \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I am going to assume that the dollar values given are PER CHAIR.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "           hours/chair   dollars/chair   quantity\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Method 1     0.5          8               x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Method 2    22            7               y\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "TOTAL       181       cost: $1096\r\n" );
document.write( "

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Write two equations. One to account for how many hours, and another to account for the cost of the refinishing.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify and solve the system of equations for x and y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
