10. A sporting goods manufacturer makes footballs and soccer balls. Each ball requires 2 min on the cutting machine. A football requires i1 min on the stitching machine. A soccer ball requires 4 min on the stitching machine. How many of each type of ball can be produced each hour?
Ok so I've been trying to solve this problem for half an hour probably and even my mo tried and we can't solve it.
You're given a word eqation and we need to set up 2 equations for it (with x and y) and the solve for x and y.
I have the answer (which is 20 footballs and 10 soccer balls)
I also have the first equation (I think) which would be 3x+6y=60
(so x= amount of footballs and y amount of soccer balls)
But I don't know what would the second equation be :S
Can someone please tell me and help me solve this problem ?
Thanks
