Answer:

No, we can't.

Explanation:

Let x be the amount of time it takes each machine to make 1 cockpit, and y be the amount of time it takes each machine to make 1 propulsion system.

For machine A: 22 hours to produce 3 cockpits and 5 propulsion system.

For machine B: 44 hours to produce 6 cockpits and 10 propulsion system.

So, this will produce the following system of equations:

3x + 5y = 22 ⇒(1)

6x + 10y = 44 ⇒(2)

We can note that the second equation is two times the first equation.

So, the two equation are actually represent one equation.

OR, by another way the two equation have the same slope and y-intercept

So, the two equation are identical, therefore, we can't solve one equation with two variables.

Also, see the attached figure.

equation (1) with blue color and the second equation with red color.
