Cevap

The hourly consumption rate of one Type Alpha pump is

7\text{ kWh per hour}

, one Type Beta pump is

5\text{ kWh per hour}

, and their combined hourly rate is

12\text{ kWh per hour}

.

Solving the system of simultaneous linear equations

4a + 3b = 43

and

2a + 5b = 39

yields

a = 7

for Type Alpha pumps and

b = 5

for Type Beta pumps. The sum

a + b

equals

12

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up equations for the total hourly consumption from the given scenario data.

Let

a

be the hourly consumption of Type Alpha in kWh and

b

be the hourly consumption of Type Beta in kWh. From 5 hours of operation:

5(4a + 3b) = 215 \implies 4a + 3b = 43

. From 4 hours of operation:

4(2a + 5b) = 156 \implies 2a + 5b = 39

.

Dividing total energy by total hours converts total consumption into hourly rates for each operating group.

2

Solve the system of simultaneous linear equations for

a

and

b

.

Multiply

2a + 5b = 39

by 2 to get

4a + 10b = 78

. Subtract

4a + 3b = 43

from

4a + 10b = 78

:

(4a + 10b) - (4a + 3b) = 78 - 43 \implies 7b = 35 \implies b = 5

.

Eliminating variable

a

allows direct solution for variable

b

.

3

Substitute

b = 5

back into one of the linear equations to find

a

.

2a + 5(5) = 39 \implies 2a + 25 = 39 \implies 2a = 14 \implies a = 7

.

Determines the single unit rate for Type Alpha pumps.

4

Calculate the combined hourly rate for one Type Alpha and one Type Beta pump.

a + b = 7 + 5 = 12\text{ kWh per hour}

.

Calculates the sum of both individual unit rates.

A corporate audit department classifies incoming project files using two criteria: Compliance Category and Funding Level.

Files are prioritized according to the following strict hierarchy:
1. First, by Compliance Category: Category 1 (Urgent Audit) > Category 2 (Standard Audit) > Category 3 (Routine Check).
2. Second, within the same Compliance Category, by Funding Level: High Funding > Low Funding.

Based on these rules, what is the correct sequence of the four project files listed below when sorted from highest processing priority (1st) to lowest processing priority (4th)?

Öğeleri doğru sıraya koymak için sürükleyin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct order from highest to lowest priority is File Beta, File Alpha, File Gamma, and File Delta.

The correct ranking applies the primary criterion (Compliance Category: Category 1 > Category 2 > Category 3) first, which places File Beta and File Alpha in the top two positions, followed by File Gamma in third, and File Delta in fourth. Within Category 1, applying the secondary criterion (Funding Level: High Funding > Low Funding) places File Beta ahead of File Alpha.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Group the files by the primary precedence criterion (Compliance Category).

Category 1 files (File Beta and File Alpha) have higher priority than Category 2 files (File Gamma), which have higher priority than Category 3 files (File Delta).

Compliance Category is the primary sorting key specified in the rules.

2

Apply the tie-breaker criterion (Funding Level) to files within Category 1.

File Beta (High Funding) ranks ahead of File Alpha (Low Funding).

When Compliance Categories are identical, High Funding takes precedence over Low Funding.

3

Assemble the complete sequence from highest to lowest priority.

1st: File Beta, 2nd: File Alpha, 3rd: File Gamma, 4th: File Delta.

Combining primary category sorting and secondary funding level tie-breaking yields the definitive order.

A smart battery storage unit operates over three consecutive cycles ( $k = 1, 2, 3$ ). At the start of Cycle 1 ( $k = 0$ ), the stored energy ( $E_0$ ) is $50\text{ kWh}$ and the grid demand factor ( $D_0$ ) is $10$ .

For each cycle $k$ :
- Stored energy updates according to the demand factor of the previous cycle: $E_k = E_{k-1} + 20$ if $D_{k-1} \ge 10$ ; otherwise, $E_k = E_{k-1} - 10$ .

Cevap: At the end of Cycle 1 ( $k = 1$ ), the stored energy is $70\text{ kWh}$ .; At the end of Cycle 3 ( $k = 3$ ), the grid demand factor is $4$ .

Cevap

The statements confirming that the stored energy at the end of Cycle 1 is 70 kWh and that the grid demand factor at the end of Cycle 3 is 4 are both correct.

Evaluating the transition steps sequentially: At Cycle 1 (

k=1

),

D_0 = 10 \ge 10

, so stored energy becomes

50 + 20 = 70\text{ kWh}

and demand factor becomes

10 - 2 = 8

. This confirms the statement regarding Cycle 1 stored energy. Continuing through Cycle 2 (

D_1 = 8 < 10 \Rightarrow E_2 = 60, D_2 = 6

) to Cycle 3 (

D_2 = 6 < 10 \Rightarrow E_3 = 50, D_3 = 4

), the grid demand factor reaches

4

, confirming the statement regarding Cycle 3 grid demand.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate state values at the end of Cycle 1 (

k = 1

)

E_1 = 50 + 20 = 70\text{ kWh}

because

D_0 = 10 \ge 10

.

D_1 = 10 - 2 = 8

.

Apply the conditional energy rule and the linear demand decrease rule using initial values.

2

Calculate state values at the end of Cycle 2 (

k = 2

)

E_2 = 70 - 10 = 60\text{ kWh}

because

D_1 = 8 < 10

Since

D_1 < 10

, the energy decreases by

10\text{ kWh}

At the beginning of a fiscal year, an asset management firm allocated funds between two portfolios, Portfolio Alpha and Portfolio Beta, in the ratio of $3:5$ , respectively. Over the course of the year, Portfolio Alpha gained $40\%$ in value while Portfolio Beta lost $10\%$ in value. At the end of the year, a total of $\$150,000$ in profits was transferred from Portfolio Alpha to Portfolio Beta. Following this transfer, the final value of Portfolio Beta was exactly $25\%$ greater than the final value of Portfolio Alpha. Based on the information provided, what were the initial asset values of Portfolio Alpha and Portfolio Beta, respectively, at the start of the fiscal year?

Portfolio Alpha:

\$1,350,000

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Portfolio Alpha: $\$1,350,000$ ; Portfolio Beta: $\$2,250,000$

Cevap

Portfolio Alpha had an initial asset value of

\$1,350,000

and Portfolio Beta had an initial asset value of

\$2,250,000

.

The correct pair identifies Portfolio Alpha's initial value as

\$1,350,000

and Portfolio Beta's initial value as

\$2,250,000

. This preserves the initial

3:5

ratio. A

40\%

increase brings Alpha to

\$1,890,000

, and a

10\%

decrease brings Beta to

\$2,025,000

. Transferring

\$150,000

results in final values of

\$1,740,000

for Alpha and

\$2,175,000

for Beta, satisfying the condition that Beta's final value is

25\%

greater than Alpha's final value (

\$1,740,000 \times 1.25 = \$2,175,000

).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up algebraic expressions for initial values based on the given ratio.

Let initial Alpha =

3k

and initial Beta =

5k

for some multiplier

k

.

The initial ratio of Portfolio Alpha to Portfolio Beta is given as

3:5

.

2

Express values after annual percentage changes.

Alpha pre-transfer =

3k \times (1 + 0.40) = 4.2k

. Beta pre-transfer =

5k \times (1 - 0.10) = 4.5k

.

Alpha gained

40\%

and Beta lost

10\%

over the year.

3

Account for the

\$150,000

transfer and construct the final equality equation.

Alpha final =

4.2k - 150,000

and Beta final =

4.5k + 150,000

. Equation:

4.5k + 150,000 = 1.25(4.2k - 150,000)

.

Beta's final value is

25\%

(

1.25

times) greater than Alpha's final value after receiving

\$150,000

.

4

Solve for the multiplier

k

and compute initial values.

4.5k + 150,000 = 5.25k - 187,500 \implies 0.75k = 337,500 \implies k = 450,000

. Thus, Alpha initial =

3(450,000) = \$1,350,000

and Beta initial =

5(450,000) = \$2,250,000

.

Evaluating the linear equation yields the constant multiplier

k

.

A manufacturing facility uses two processing lines, Line A and Line B, to produce liquid chemical compounds. Line A operates at a constant rate of $r_A$ liters per hour and yields a mixture containing $15\%$ active solute by volume. Line B operates at a constant rate of $r_B$ liters per hour and yields a mixture containing $40\%$ active solute by volume.

When Line A operates for 4 hours and Line B operates for 6 hours, the combined output is $1,600$ liters of a solution containing $30\%$ active solute by volume.

If Line A and Line B are run simultaneously for 5 hours, how many liters of active solute will be produced in total?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 440

Cevap

440 liters of active solute will be produced in total.

By setting up a system of two linear equations relating the individual line flow rates (

r_A

and

r_B

) to total volume and total solute, we find

r_A = 160

L/hr and

r_B = 160

L/hr. Running Line A and Line B together yields

0.15(160) + 0.40(160) = 88

liters of active solute per hour. Over 5 hours, this produces

88 \times 5 = 440

liters of active solute.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Formulate total volume equation

4r_A + 6r_B = 1600 \implies 2r_A + 3r_B = 800

Line A runs for 4 hours and Line B runs for 6 hours to produce a total volume of 1,600 liters.

2

Formulate active solute equation

0.15(4r_A) + 0.40(6r_B) = 0.30(1600) \implies 0.6r_A + 2.4r_B = 480 \implies r_A + 4r_B = 800

The total solute produced is

30\%

of the 1,600-liter mixture, which equals 480 liters.

3

Solve the system of linear equations

r_A = 160

liters/hour and

r_B = 160

liters/hour

Substituting

r_A = 800 - 4r_B

into

2r_A + 3r_B = 800

yields

5r_B = 800 \implies r_B = 160

and

r_A = 160

.

4

Calculate solute rate per hour when both run simultaneously

0.15(160) + 0.40(160) = 24 + 64 = 88

liters of solute per hour

Each line produces solute at its respective concentration percentage of its hourly fluid rate.

5

Compute total solute produced in 5 hours

88 \times 5 = 440

liters

Multiplying the combined solute production rate of 88 liters per hour by 5 hours gives the final quantity.

The daily processing rate for System Alpha is 20 ML and the daily processing rate for System Beta is 15 ML.

Solving the system of simultaneous equations

2x + 3y = 85

and

x^2 - y^2 = 175

yields

x = 20

ML for System Alpha and

y = 15

ML for System Beta. This satisfies both throughput and squared difference conditions while maintaining positive rates.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Formulate the system of simultaneous equations from the problem statement.

Equation 1:

2x + 3y = 85

; Equation 2:

x^2 - y^2 = 175

, with constraints

x > 0

and

y > 0

.

Operating Alpha for 2 days and Beta for 3 days totals 85 ML (

2x + 3y = 85

), and the difference of their squared rates is 175 (

x^2 - y^2 = 175

).

2

Express

x

in terms of

y

using Equation 1.

x = \frac{85 - 3y}{2}

Isolating

x

allows substitution into the non-linear equation.

3

Substitute

x = \frac{85 - 3y}{2}

into Equation 2 and simplify the quadratic equation.

The annual percentage yield for Asset Class P is 7%, and the annual percentage yield for Asset Class Q is 10%.

Solving the system of simultaneous linear equations

3r_P + 2r_Q = 41

and

2r_P + 5r_Q = 64

yields

r_P = 7\%

for Asset Class P and

r_Q = 10\%

for Asset Class Q.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Define variables for the unknown annual return rates.

Let

r_P

be the annual percentage yield of Asset Class

P

and

r_Q

be the annual percentage yield of Asset Class

Q

.

Establishing explicit variables allows translation of the financial statements into a system of linear equations.

2

Set up the simultaneous equations for Year 1 and Year 2.

Year 1 equation:

3,000,000 \cdot \frac{r_P}{100} + 2,000,000 \cdot \frac{r_Q}{100} = 410,000 \implies 30,000 r_P + 20,000 r_Q = 410,000 \implies 3r_P + 2r_Q = 41

.
Year 2 equation:

2,000,000 \cdot \frac{r_P}{100} + 5,000,000 \cdot \frac{r_Q}{100} = 640,000 \implies 20,000 r_P + 50,000 r_Q = 640,000 \implies 2r_P + 5r_Q = 64

.

Simplifying by dividing both sides by 10,000 reduces the coefficients to manageable integers.

3

Solve the system of linear equations using the elimination method.

Multiply the first equation by 5:

15r_P + 10r_Q = 205

.
Multiply the second equation by 2:

4r_P + 10r_Q = 128

.
Subtract the second modified equation from the first:

(15r_P - 4r_P) + (10r_Q - 10r_Q) = 205 - 128 \implies 11r_P = 77 \implies r_P = 7

.

Eliminating

r_Q

allows direct solution for the value of

r_P

.

4

Substitute

r_P = 7

back into the first simplified equation to solve for

r_Q

.

3(7) + 2r_Q = 41 \implies 21 + 2r_Q = 41 \implies 2r_Q = 20 \implies r_Q = 10

.

Substituting the known variable yields the remaining unknown.

1

Formulate a system of two linear equations in two variables.

Let

x

represent the capacity of one Type-X module and

y

represent the capacity of one Type-Y module. The given conditions translate to:
Equation (1):

4x + 3y = 180

Equation (2):

2x + 5y = 160

Simultaneous word problems require establishing algebraic equations representing total quantities for each scenario.

2

Eliminate variable

x

by multiplying Equation (2) by 2.

Equation (2) multiplied by 2 becomes:
Equation (3):

4x + 10y = 320

Aligning coefficients of

A municipal utility operates three water desalination plants—Plant Alpha, Plant Beta, and Plant Gamma—to process seawater into purified drinking water. Each plant operates at a constant total intake rate of seawater and yields a specific percentage of brine byproduct, with the remainder converted to purified drinking water:

- Plant Alpha: Total intake rate of $40,000$ gallons per hour; $15\%$ of intake becomes brine byproduct.
- Plant Beta: Total intake rate of $60,000$ gallons per hour; $10\%$ of intake becomes brine byproduct.
- Plant Gamma: Total intake rate of $50,000$ gallons per hour; $20\%$ of intake becomes brine byproduct.

Match each operational metric on the left with its corresponding calculated value on the right.

Cevap

The operational metrics match as follows: the combined output rate of Plant Alpha and Plant Beta is

88

thousand gallons per hour; the ratio of brine byproduct volume produced by Plant Alpha (in 5 hours) to Plant Gamma (in 4 hours) is

3 : 4

; and the time required for Plant Beta to equal Plant Gamma's 9-hour purified output is

\frac{20}{3}

hours.

Each calculation requires decomposing total plant intake into its constituent components (purified water and brine byproduct) using given percentages, followed by executing standard work-rate and ratio operations (

R \times T = W

). The resulting values match

88

thousand gallons per hour,

3 : 4

, and

\frac{20}{3}

hours respectively.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate individual rates for purified drinking water and brine byproduct for each plant.

Plant Alpha: Purified =

0.85 \times 40 = 34

k gal/hr, Brine =

0.15 \times 40 = 6

k gal/hr. Plant Beta: Purified =

0.90 \times 60 = 54

k gal/hr, Brine =

0.10 \times 60 = 6

k gal/hr. Plant Gamma: Purified =

0.80 \times 50 = 40

k gal/hr, Brine =

0.20 \times 50 = 10

k gal/hr.

Deconstructing the total intake rates into purified water rates and byproduct rates allows direct substitution into each multi-part question.

2

Sum the purified drinking water rates of Plant Alpha and Plant Beta.

Combined purified rate =

34 + 54 = 88

thousand gallons per hour.

When two plants operate simultaneously, their effective production rates add together.

3

Compute total brine output for Plant Alpha in 5 hours and Plant Gamma in 4 hours, then simplify the resulting ratio.

Alpha brine volume =

6 \times 5 = 30

thousand gallons. Gamma brine volume =

10 \times 4 = 40

thousand gallons. Ratio =

30 : 40 = 3 : 4

.

Total volume equals hourly rate multiplied by operational duration.

4

Find total purified output of Plant Gamma in 9 hours, and divide by Plant Beta's hourly purified rate.

Gamma purified total =

40 \times 9 = 360

thousand gallons. Required time for Beta =

\frac{360}{54} = \frac{20}{3}

A freight logistics firm installed automated route-optimization software across its fleet in Region X while simultaneously introducing a new financial bonus for drivers who voluntarily reduce engine idling time. Over the following six months, fuel consumption per delivery dropped by 18%, and fleet idle time decreased significantly. Executive management concluded that the installation of the route-optimization software was the primary cause of the reduction in fuel consumption. Which of the following statements, if true, provides the strongest counterargument to management's conclusion by identifying an alternative causal explanation?

The financial bonus incentivized drivers to turn off engines during waiting periods, accounting for the reduced idle time and lower fuel consumption independently of the software.

The reduction in fuel consumption led management to install the route-optimization software across all remaining fleet vehicles.

Drivers who received the route-optimization software reported higher overall job satisfaction after the fuel consumption dropped.

The route-optimization software was programmed specifically to minimize total driving mileage rather than monitoring engine idling hours.

Fuel prices in Region X fluctuated throughout the six-month period, altering the total monetary expenditure on fuel for the logistics firm.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The financial bonus incentivized drivers to turn off engines during waiting periods, accounting for the reduced idle time and lower fuel consumption independently of the software.

Cevap

The statement that driver financial bonuses incentivized engine shutdown provides the strongest counterargument by introducing an alternative cause for the reduced fuel consumption.

The argument concludes that the software caused the drop in fuel consumption. However, the stem notes that financial bonuses for reducing idling time were introduced simultaneously. Pointing out that these bonuses directly incentivized lower idling and lower fuel use presents a compelling alternative explanation, showing that the outcome could have occurred regardless of the software.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the causal claim in the argument stem.

Management claims that introducing route-optimization software (Cause) directly led to an 18% reduction in fuel consumption (Effect).

Understanding the precise cause-and-effect structure is essential before evaluating potential flaws or weak points in the reasoning.

2

Analyze concurrent events and potential confounding variables.

The company introduced two simultaneous changes: route-optimization software AND financial bonuses for reducing engine idling time.

When two potential causes are introduced at the same time, attributing the outcome solely to one cause without isolating variables commits a causal flaw.

3

Select the option that offers a valid alternative explanation for the observed outcome.

Attributing the reduced fuel consumption to the idling bonuses presents a direct, plausible alternative cause, neutralizing the conclusion that the software was the primary driver.

A causal argument is weakened when the observed outcome can be fully explained by an alternate independent factor.

Cevap: 9 Model D scanners and 5 Model E scanners

Cevap

9 Model D scanners and 5 Model E scanners

The correct answer states 9 Model D scanners and 5 Model E scanners. Setting up the system

d + 3e = 24

(energy) and

3d + 5e = 52

(production) and solving by substitution gives

e = 5

and

d = 9

, which uniquely satisfies both constraints.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Define variables and establish equations based on given rates and totals.

Let

d

be the number of Model D scanners and

e

be the number of Model E scanners.
Energy equation:

400d + 1200e = 9600

Wafer equation:

600d + 1000e = 10400

Translate the physical constraints into a system of two linear equations.

2

Simplify both linear equations by dividing by their greatest common divisors.

Dividing the energy equation by

400

gives:

d + 3e = 24 \quad \text{--- (Equation 1)}

Dividing the wafer equation by

200

gives:

3d + 5e = 52 \quad \text{--- (Equation 2)}

Simplifying constants reduces calculation complexity and prevents arithmetic errors.

3

Solve the system using substitution or elimination.

From Equation 1, express

d

in terms of

e

:

d = 24 - 3e

Substitute this expression into Equation 2:

3(24 - 3e) + 5e = 52

72 - 9e + 5e = 52

72 - 4e = 52

4e = 20 \implies e = 5

Now calculate

d

:

d = 24 - 3(5) = 24 - 15 = 9

Isolating one variable yields exact values for both equipment models.

4

Verify values against both constraints.

Energy:

400(9) + 1200(5) = 3600 + 6000 = 9600\text{ kWh}

Wafers:

600(9) + 1000(5) = 5400 + 5000 = 10400\text{ wafers}

Ensures the solution satisfies both independent constraints simultaneously.

A large public university introduced interactive virtual laboratory simulations across its online introductory physics courses to address high course drop rates. In the semester following the introduction of these simulations, overall course completion rates increased by $22\%$ , and average student ratings for course engagement doubled. The university administration concluded that the interactive virtual laboratory simulations directly caused the increase in student retention by helping students visualize complex physical concepts.

The statement that most strongly supports the conclusion is the concurrent trial showing higher retention in sections with virtual simulations compared to identical sections without them taught by the same instructors. The statement that most strongly undermines the conclusion is that the university lowered the minimum passing score from

70\%

to

55\%

at the start of the semester.

To support the causal claim, we need evidence isolating the virtual labs as the factor driving retention. The controlled comparison between sections with and without simulations taught by the same instructors directly reinforces the causal connection. To undermine the causal claim, we need an alternative factor that explains the higher completion rates; lowering the passing grade threshold from

70\%

to

55\%

provides a direct alternative explanation for why more students completed the course.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the author's core causal claim

Claim: Interactive virtual laboratory simulations directly caused the

22\%

increase in student course completion rates.

Evaluating support or weakness requires isolating the explicit cause (virtual labs) and effect (completion rate increase).

2

Evaluate candidate statements to find the strong supporter

The statement comparing identical sections with and without simulations taught by the same instructors isolates the virtual lab variable, eliminating instructor bias and external temporal factors.

Controlled comparison directly strengthens a causal link by demonstrating that the effect occurs when the cause is present and does not occur to the same degree when the cause is absent.

3

Evaluate candidate statements to find the strong underminer

The statement regarding lowering the passing grade from

70\%

to

55\%

introduces an obvious alternative explanation for why completion rates rose.

Introducing a viable alternative cause for the observed outcome weakens the argument that the virtual labs were responsible for the increase.

A institutional review board classifies biomedical research protocols into three oversight streams based on two parameters: Participant Risk Level (High, Medium, or Low) and Data Integrity Score ( $S$ , where $0 \le S \le 100$ ). The classification is governed by the following strict hierarchy of rules:

1. Full Board Audit: Assigned if the protocol has a High Participant Risk Level OR a Data Integrity Score of $S < 60$ .
2. Expedited Committee Review: Assigned if the protocol does not require a Full Board Audit AND meets at least one of the following conditions: Medium Participant Risk Level OR a Data Integrity Score in the range $60 \le S \le 80$ .
3. Administrative Exemption: Assigned to any protocol that does not meet the criteria for either Full Board Audit or Expedited Committee Review (i.e., Low Participant Risk Level AND $S > 80$ ).

Four trial protocols are currently under review:

In Month 2, the energy output of Solar Array S increased by $30\%$ relative to Month 1, while the energy output of Wind Turbine W increased by $10\%$ relative to Month 1. The total energy output produced by both sources combined in Month 2 was $1,700\text{ MWh}$ .

Based on the information provided, which of the following options correctly pairs the energy output of Solar Array S in Month 1 (Column 1) with the energy output of Wind Turbine W in Month 2 (Column 2)?

Column 1: 800 MWh; Column 2: 660 MWh

Column 1: 660 MWh; Column 2: 800 MWh

Column 1: 800 MWh; Column 2: 600 MWh

Column 1: 1,040 MWh; Column 2: 660 MWh

Column 1: 600 MWh; Column 2: 1,040 MWh

Cevap: Column 1: 800 MWh; Column 2: 660 MWh

Cevap

Column 1: 800 MWh; Column 2: 660 MWh

The option specifying Column 1 as 800 MWh and Column 2 as 660 MWh correctly identifies the Month 1 Solar Array S output (

4 \times 200 = 800\text{ MWh}

) and the Month 2 Wind Turbine W output (

3.3 \times 200 = 660\text{ MWh}

).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Define variables based on Month 1 ratio

Let Month 1 output for Solar Array S be

S_1 = 4x

and for Wind Turbine W be

W_1 = 3x

.

The given ratio of Solar output to Wind output in Month 1 is

4 : 3

.

2

Express Month 2 outputs in terms of

x

S_2 = 4x \times (1 + 0.30) = 5.2x

and

W_2 = 3x \times (1 + 0.10) = 3.3x

.

Solar output increased by

30\%

and Wind output increased by

10\%

in Month 2.

3

Set up and solve the total output equation for Month 2

5.2x + 3.3x = 8.5x = 1,700 \implies x = 200\text{ MWh}

.

The combined Month 2 output is given as

1,700\text{ MWh}

.

4

Calculate the target quantities for Column 1 and Column 2

Column 1 (

S_1

) =

4 \times 200 = 800\text{ MWh}

; Column 2 (

W_2

) =

3.3 \times 200 = 660\text{ MWh}

.

Column 1 asks for Solar output in Month 1, and Column 2 asks for Wind output in Month 2.
