A patient in a hospital is requested to have at least 84 units of drug A and 120 unites of drug B each day. Each gram of substance M contains 10 units of drug A and 8 units of drug B and each gram of substance N contains 2 units of A and 4 units of drug B. How many grams of substances M and N can be mixed to meet the minimum daily requirements?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

wait.. let me think.. @apam

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

M = A : B 10 : 8 N = A : B 2 : 4

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

10x + 2y = 84, 8x + 4y = 120

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

checking..

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i think it's correct. we will get M = 4 grams N = 22 grams.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OpenStudy (apoorvk):
