A person-day is a unit of measure that represents one person working for one day. A painting contractor estimates that it will take 24 person-days to paint a house. Write and solve an equation to find how many painters the contractor will need to hire to paint the house in 6 days.

A company has plants located in Maine, Utah, and Oregon where it manufactures stoves, refrigerators, and dishwashers. The number of units of each product that can be produced per day at each plant are given in the table. The company has orders for 1,500 stoves, 2,350 refrigerators, and 2,400 dishwashers. How many days should the company operate each plant in order to exactly fill these orders? Set up a system of equations whose solution would answer this question and solve the system. $$\begin{array}{lccc}\text { Plant } & \text { Stoves } & \text { Refrigerators } & \text { Dishwashers } \\\hline \text { Maine } & 30 & 70 & 60 \\\text { Utah } & 20 & 50 & 50 \\\text { Oregon } & 40 & 30 & 40 \\\hline\end{array}$$
