Hey there! :)

Equation 1 : -5x + 3y = 2

Equation 2 : -5x - 5y = -30

Because both equations contain a like term (which in this case is 5x), we can easily subtract these equations from one another.

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2 :

-5x - (-5x) = 0

3y - (-5y) = 3y + 5y --> 8y

2 - (-30) = 2 + 30 --> 32

This leaves us with 8y = 32. Simplify this to get y by dividing both sides by 8.

8y ÷ 8 = 32 ÷ 8

Simplify.

y = 4

Now, plug in 4 for y in our first equation.

-5x + 3(4) = 2

Simplify.

-5x + 12 = 2

Subtract 12 from both sides.

-5x = 2 - 12

Simplify.

-5x = -10

Divide both sides by -5.

-5x ÷ -5 = -10 ÷ -5

Simplify.

x = 2

Therefore, our answer is :

(2, 4) where x = 2, y = 4

~Hope I helped!~

Mr. Smith has an online cooking show. Before he films an episode about baking the perfect pound cake, he prepares his ingredients. His recipe calls for 2 1 /2 cups of sugar for the cake and 1 1/ 4 cups of sugar for the vanilla glaze. How many 1 /4 -cup scoops of sugar does he need? Write your answer as a whole number, fraction, or mixed number. Simplify any fractions.

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

Mr. Smith's recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of sugar for the cake and 1 1/4 cups of sugar for the vanilla glaze.

The total amount of sugar he would need

2 1/2 + 1 1/4

= (2 + 1) + (1/2 + 1/4)

= 3 3/4 cups of sugar.

We need this amount of sugar in 1/4 cup scoops.

This is calculated as:

let x be the number of scoops needed

x * 1/4 = 3 3/4

x* 1/4 = 15/4 ( 3 3/4 = 15/4)

x= 15

Therefore, he would be needing 15 , 1/4 cup scoop of sugar
