a. If x equals the number of ounces of food type j served at meal, determine the equation which ensure the meal satisfies MDR exactly.


i want linear equation solution of this

Answer 1

8* x₁ + 24*x₂ + 16*x₃ ≥ 120

Explanation:

food 1 provides 8 mgrs of vitamin

food 2 provides 24 mgrs of vitamin

food 3 provides 16 mgrs of vitamin

If xj ( j = 1 ,2,3 ) is the quantity in ounces of food ( 1, 2, 3 ) then:

8* x₁ + 24*x₂ + 16*x₃ ≥ 120
