Question 983057: Pls help solve below two questions:
Question No. 1
x/3 - y/4 = 2x - y +12
Question No. 2
A Company manufactures two different products, A and B. Each unit of product A costs $6 to produce and each unit of product B costs $4. The Company insists that total costs for the two products be $500.
(a) Define the cost equation which states that the total cost of producing x units of product A and y units of product B equals $500
(b) Assuming the Company has agreed to fill an order for 50 units of product A, how many units of product B should be produced if total costs are to be kept at $500?
