The required linear equation is 5x + 7y = 280
Product A requires = 5 hours on machine
Product B requires = 7 hours on machine
Time when machine is available = 40 hours per week
this means it is available for 40 × 7 = 280 hours
Given ; let x be the number of product a made
and y be the number of product b.
Thus the linear equation can be obtained as
5x + 7y = 280
where x is for the number of product A makes
and y is for the number of product B makes.
