Warehouse Capacity Model Verification

An operations analyst at a distribution center uses the linear model ${}5y + 3 = 10y - 4$ to balance safety stock capacity across two storage facilities, where yy represents the facility scaling factor. A team member proposes an optimization factor of y=75y = \frac{7}{5}.

To verify this proposal, the analyst must apply the standard three-step determination strategy. In a clear, step-by-step essay:

  1. Explain Step 1 (Substitution) by showing how to substitute the proposed value into the model.
  2. Explain Step 2 (Simplification) by showing the specific intermediate calculations and the final simplified equality.
  3. Explain Step 3 (Determination) by detailing how to interpret the final simplified result to conclude whether the proposed value is indeed a valid solution.
