Question 81595: help please if you could show me what formula to use it would be easier for me to understand how to read story problems Thank You. The directions are to write a system of inequalities representing this situation, where x is the number of scarves and y is the number of sweaters. Then graph the system of inequalities:
A home-based company produces both hand-knitted scarves and sweaters. The scarves take 2 hours of labor to produce, and the sweaters take 14 hours. The labor available is limited to 40 hours per week, and the total production capacity is 5 times per week.

Question 81636: Convert 43/6 to a mived number.
This one I'm a bit confused, b2 – 2bc + c2 if b = 3 and c = –2.
with the 2bc, do I multiply the three numbers together, or do I do each one seperate.
combine like terms.
5w + 5x – 9w- how do i figure out what goes where. I'm trying to understand if the w and x represent something or I'm supposed to complete the equation as if they werent there.

Use the indicated property to write an expression that is equivalent to the following expression.
(7 + 11) + 2 (associative property of addition)

Question 81664: I can't seem to fully understand how to get through the whole process to the answer.
5y-3x=15
in the book the problem states as follows:
5y-3x=15
let y=0 5y-3x =15
5(0)-3x =15
-3x =15
x =15
let x=0 5y-3x =15
5y-3(0)=15
5y =15
y =3
let y=6 5(6)-3x =15
30-3x =15
-3x = - 15
- 15
x = -15/-3 or 5
okay, this is the example in the book. I don’t understand where the uses of the 6 as y comes in. Please help. thank you.

Question 82144: A small firm produces both AM and AM/FM car radios. The AM radios take 15h to produce, and the AM/FM radios take 20h. The number of production hours is limited to 300h per week. the plant's capacity is limited to a total of 18 radios per week, and existing orders require that at least 4 AM radios and at least 3 AM/FM radios be produced per week.
Write a system of inequalities representing this solution.
Then draw a graph of the feasible region given these conditions, in which x is the number of AM radios and y the number of AM/FM radios.
