Solution

for order 1:
let plan A operate for x hour and plant B for y hour
1066 = 5x + 8y .....eqn 1 * 2
474 = 2x + 6y .....eqn 2 *5
----------------------------
2132 = 10x + 16y
2370 = 10x + 30 y
---------------------------
14y = 238
y = 17

put this in eqn 1
1066 = 5x + 8*17
x= 186

Answer:
Number of hours of plant A = 186
Number of hours of plant B = 17
