use formula^: a²-b²= (a-b)(a+b)
x²-1=0
x²-1²=0
(x-1)(x+1)=0
x-1=0⇒ x₁=-1
x+1=0 ⇒x₂=1
Answer: x=+-1

Answer:

x = 5 , y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this using substitution.

Let the quantity of cheese wafers be denoted by x and the quantity of chocolate wafers denoted by y

2x + 1y = 25

x + y = 20

These two equations are the answer to part A, (remember to include the above prompt which says what x and y denote).

For part B I used substitution because it was more applicable to the question then addition or elimination.

ACTUAL WORK

Set 2x + 1y = 25 equal to x

x = 25 - y / 2

Replace x with y in the second equation

(25 - y / 2) + y = 20

And solve for y

y = 15

Since we know what y is we can replace y in the second equation and find what x is

x + 15 = 20

Solve for x

x = 5
