<PRE><B>Question 638401</B>
A textile company has specific dyeing and drying times for its different cloths.
A roll of Cloth A requires 65 minutes of dyeing time and 50 minutes of drying time. 
A roll of Cloth B requires 55 minutes of dyeing time and 30 minutes of drying time. 
The production division allocates 2440 minutes of dyeing time and 1680 minutes of drying time for the week. 
How many rolls of each cloth can be dyed and dried?

-------
Dyeing Equation: 65A + 55B = 2440
Drying Equation: 50A + 30B = 1680
--------
Solve the system by any means you know to get:
A = 24 (# of rolls of Cloth A)
B = 16 (# of rolls of Cloth B)
