  30 small chairs and 24 large chairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the numbers of small chairs and large chairs built in a day. Then the relations for using available time are ...

  20x +50y = 30×60

  60x +90y = 66×60

Removing common factors, these can be written in standard form as ...

  2x +5y = 180

  2x +3y = 132

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  2y = 48

  y = 24 . . . . . divide by 2

Using the first equation to find x, we have ...

  2x +5(24) = 180

  2x = 60 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 120

  x = 30 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The company can build 30 small chairs and 24 large chairs in a day.

step-by-step explanation:

i found the koficent of the linear function and i foun c acordind to the strict formula y=kx+c and then i took 2 as an x and replacet it on the formula i found and then foun the y
