You manage an ice cream factory that makes two flavors: Creamy Vanilla and Continental Mocha. Into each quart of Creamy Vanilla go 2 eggs and 3 cups of cream. Into each quart of Continental Mocha go 1 egg and 3 cups of cream. You have in stock 400 eggs and 750 cups of cream. You make a profit of $3 on each quart of Creamy Vanilla and $2 on each quart of Continental Mocha. How many quarts of each flavor should you make to earn the largest profit? HINT [See Example 2.] (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

In order to earn the largest profit, you should make 150 quarts of Creamy Vanilla and 100 quarts of Continental Mocha.

Step-by-step explanation:

You will make the largest profit when you use all your stock, and all of this is sold. We can find the number of each that are sold solving a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of quarts of Creamy Vanilla

y is the number of quarts of Continental Mocha.

Each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 2 eggs. Each quart of Continental Mocha uses 1 egg. There are 400 eggs in stock. So:

Each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 3 cups of cream. Each quart of Continental Mocha uses 3 cups of cream. There are 750 cups of cream in stock. So:

Simplifying by 3

Solve the following system:

From the second equation:

Replacing in the first equation:

In order to earn the largest profit, you should make 150 quarts of Creamy Vanilla and 100 quarts of Continental Mocha.

17

step-by-step explanation:

51/3=17

thus 17 is your answer.

answer: bea's uncle is 25 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

given the equation , we can say that the variable "x" represents the age of bea's uncle. then to find his age, we need to solve for "x":

we must add 15 to both sides of the equation:

now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3:

therefore, we can conclude that bea's uncle is 25 years old.
