Let
x = loaves of bread
y = batches of muffins
You must make a system of two equations with two unknowns that describe the problem
3.5x + 2.5y = 17 --- (1)
0.75x + 0.75y = 4.5 --- (2)
Resolving we have
x = 6-y (from (2))
replacing in (1)
3.5 (6-y) + 2.5y = 17
21 - 3.5y + 2.5y = 17
y = 21-17 = 4
Then substituting in (2)
x = 6-y = 6-4 = 2

Answer:
10 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
8÷12 (because you can not divide people.
.666
take that and multiply it by 15
you will get 10
Answer: -8 and -4
This is something you do through trial and error. Making a list or a table like shown below might help.
Answer:
x=-8
Step-by-step explanation:
collect like terms
-5x=40
divide both sides of the equation by -5
so the answer would be x=-8
