Question

Sven Hendriksson finds that one of his productivity measures is related to the number of employees, e, and the production, n, by the equations:

10n + 3e = 45 and 2n + 5e = 31
What are the current values for e and n?

Answer 1

n = 3

e = 5

Explanation:

10n + 3e = 45

2n + 5e = 31

10n + 3e = 45

10n + 25e = 155

o + 22e = 110

e = 5

to fix 5 into the first equation

10n + 3(5) = 45

10n + 15 = 45

10n = 45 -15

10n = 30

n = 3
