Understanding Linear Equations in a Factory Setting

The video tutorial presents a problem involving a toy factory with machines and workers. Each machine produces 14 toys, and each worker packs 2 toys, leaving 40 toys unpacked. The number of workers is eight less than seven times the number of machines. The tutorial defines variables for machines and workers, sets up equations, and attempts to solve them. However, the solution reveals that the equations are inconsistent, leading to the conclusion that no solution exists for the given constraints.

What is the main task of the factory's machines?

• To sell toys

• To transport toys

• To produce toys

• To pack toys
