Answer: she uses 2 eggs for one batch of brownies and 4 eggs for one batch of cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of eggs that she uses for one batch of brownies.

Let y represent the number of eggs that she uses for one batch of cookies.

Last month, she made 2 batches of brownies and 3 batches of cookies. This means that

2x + 3y = 16 - - - - - - - - - -1

The month before, she baked 1 batch of brownies and 1 batch of cookies, which required a total of 6 eggs. This means that

x + y = 6 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 2, it becomes

2x + 3y = 16

2x + 2y = 12

Subtracting, it becomes

y = 4

Substituting y = 4 into equation 2, it becomes

x + 4 = 6

x = 6 - 4 = 2

The function h(x) is given below.
zavuch27 [327]

The inverse function will be h⁻¹(x) = {(–5, 3), (–7, 5), (–9, 6), (–12, 10), (–16, 12)}. Then the correct option is B.

<h3>What is inverse of a function?</h3>

Suppose that the given function is

f:X → Y

Then the inverse of the considered function will be

f⁻¹: Y → X

The function h(x) is given below.

h(x) = {(3, –5), (5, –7), (6, –9), (10, –12), (12, –16)}

Then the coordinate of the inverse function gets swapped.

h⁻¹(x) = {(–5, 3), (–7, 5), (–9, 6), (–12, 10), (–16, 12)}

Then the correct option is B.

David is making baskets of fruit he has 12 apples and 20 pears what is the greatest number of baskets he can make
Fiesta28 [93]
He can make 12 baskets i’m pretty sure because if he only has 12 apples you have to put the same with the pears if that makes sense
