5 cups of flour will make 5/(1 1/2) x 15 = 50 shortbread cookies
4 cups of sugar will make 4/(1 1/4) x 15 = 48 shortbread cookies
1 3/4 cups of butter will make (1 3/4)/(1/2) x 15 = 52 1/2 shortbread cookies
Therefore, 5 cups of flour, 4 cups of sugar, and 1 3/4 cups of butter will make 48 shortbread cookies.
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
y = -1/4x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out known variables
m = -1/4
y = -1/4x + b
Step 2: Find <em>b</em>
2 = -1/4(4) + b
2 = -1 + b
b = 3
Step 3: Rewrite equation
y = -1/4x + 3
 
        
             
        
        
        
I believe that x and y are == given that both sides are 24:24
so we know a triangle must add up to 180 degrees
just do 180-46 = 134
134/2=67
x=y=67
  
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Step-by-step explanation:
6x - 15 = 75, 6x = 90, x = 15.
2(2x - 1) = 46, 2x - 1 = 23, x = 12.
x + (x - 10) = 26, 2x = 36, x = 18.
5x - 3x = 10, 2x = 10, x = 5.
Hence the equations 
in increasing order of x-values are:
5x - 3x = 10,
2(2x - 1) = 46,
6x - 15 = 75, and
x + (x - 10) = 26.
