Answer:
2 CUPS
Step-by-step explanation:
Write two equations, where "b" = bottles, and "c" = cups
2b +5c = b +7c -->
b = 2c
THERE ARE 2 CUPS IN A BOTTLE
It looks like your equations are
7M - 2t = -30
5t - 12M = 115
<u>Solving by substitution</u>
Solve either equation for one variable. For example,
7M - 2t = -30 ⇒ t = (7M + 30)/2
Substitute this into the other equation and solve for M.
5 × (7M + 30)/2 - 12M = 115
5 (7M + 30) - 24M = 230
35M + 150 - 24M = 230
11M = 80
M = 80/11
Now solve for t.
t = (7 × (80/11) + 30)/2
t = (560/11 + 30)/2
t = (890/11)/2
t = 445/11
<u>Solving by elimination</u>
Multiply both equations by an appropriate factor to make the coefficients of one of the variables sum to zero. For example,
7M - 2t = -30 ⇒ -10t + 35M = -150 … (multiply by 5)
5t - 12M = 115 ⇒ 10t - 24M = 230 … (multiply by 2)
Now combining the equations eliminates the t terms, and
(-10t + 35M) + (10t - 24M) = -150 + 230
11M = 80
M = 80/11
It follows that
7 × (80/11) - 2t = -30
560/11 - 2t = -30
2t = 890/11
t = 445/11
Answer:
(a)There are 24 cakes in total
(b)There are 15 pieces of cakes left
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total cakes=x
Let number of cakes eaten by Mindy=m
Let number of cakes eaten by Troy=t
Now:
m=3
Since m+t=9
3+t=9
t=9-3=6
The Number of Pieces of Cake Left in Total=x-(t+m)
Since Troy had 
of the total cake
x=6X4=24
(a)There are 24 cakes in total
(b)The Number of Pieces of Cake Left in Total=x-(t+m)=24-9=15 cakes
