<u>Answer:</u>
The amount of butter, sugar and flour does Clifford need is 2.5 cups flour, 3.75 cups sugar and 1.25 butter
<u>Explanation</u>:
Consider the number of cup of flour used to be x
According to question,
Recipe calls for 1.5 times as much flour as sugar
Sugar =
Sugar = 1.5x
Butter = ½ x = 0.5x
According to question,
Flour + Sugar + Butter = 7.5
x + 1.5x + 0.5x = 7.5
3x = 7.5
x = 2.5
Sugar = 1.5x = 1.5(2.5) = 3.75
Butter = 0.5(2.5) = 1.25
Clifford need is 2.5 cups flour, 3.75 cups sugar and 1.25 cups butter

The answer would be -5 1/4
Answer:
10 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
She used 12 gallons this week and used 20% more than last week. That means 12 gallons is 120% of last weeks gas. Since 12 times 10 equals 120, then to find 20% you do 20 divided 10 and subtract the answer from 12.
20% is 2 because 20 divided by 10 is 2. 12 minus 2 is 10
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A system of linear equations is one which may be written in the form
a11x1 + a12x2 + · · · + a1nxn = b1 (1)
a21x1 + a22x2 + · · · + a2nxn = b2 (2)
.
am1x1 + am2x2 + · · · + amnxn = bm (m)
Here, all of the coefficients aij and all of the right hand sides bi are assumed to be known constants. All of the
xi
’s are assumed to be unknowns, that we are to solve for. Note that every left hand side is a sum of terms of
the form constant × x
Solving Linear Systems of Equations
We now introduce, by way of several examples, the systematic procedure for solving systems of linear
equations.
Here is a system of three equations in three unknowns.
x1+ x2 + x3 = 4 (1)
x1+ 2x2 + 3x3 = 9 (2)
2x1+ 3x2 + x3 = 7 (3)
We can reduce the system down to two equations in two unknowns by using the first equation to solve for x1
in terms of x2 and x3
x1 = 4 − x2 − x3 (1’)
1
and substituting this solution into the remaining two equations
(2) (4 − x2 − x3) + 2x2+3x3 = 9 =⇒ x2+2x3 = 5
(3) 2(4 − x2 − x3) + 3x2+ x3 = 7 =⇒ x2− x3 = −1
