For solving system of equations, we can use either substitution where we plug one equation into the other, or elimination where we combine the equations.


- Using elimination, you would to eliminate one variable from both equations, so you automatically would get one equation with one variable!


- Using substitution means you are going to solve one equation for one variable and substitute with its value in the other equation in order to get also an equation with one variable.



Let's take an example ...

y+x=2            and      y-2x = 1

<span>Using <span>elimination, we need to subtract these two equation; one from the other...

y+x=2
-
y-2x=1
-----------
0+3x=1

then x=1/3       

and then substitute into any equation to get y-value</span></span>
y+x=2
y+1/3 = 2        >>>>>    y=5/3



NOW...<span>Using substitution
</span>y+x=2            and      y-2x = 1 >>(y=1+2x)

Plug (y=1+2x) into y+x=2    and solve for x
y+x=2
(1+2x) + x =2
1+3x = 2
3x=1

again (and for sure) x = 1/3

plug in x=1/3 into any of the equations above to get y:
y+x=2
y+1/3=2
y=5/3

I hope you got the idea

A bakery needs to make 7 batches of muffins before opening in 4 hours. Each batch of muffins takes 2/3 hour to bake.
Evgen [1.6K]
To find 2/3 of an hour you need to spilt the hour up so you’d say each third is 20 minutes therefore, each batch of muffins takes 40 minutes, so 40*7 you get 280 and divided by 60 it’s 4.6. I don’t know what the question is exactly asking for but they will be a little bit behind schedule with their muffins
