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
This is wrong.
It's supposed to be -4/15.
But try -4/5.
Answer: 9
Step-by-step explanation: Here, we have the expression <em>4x - 7</em> and we want to evaluate the expression when <em>x</em> is equal to 4.
To evaluate an expression, we simply plug the value
of the variable into the expression and solve.
So here, since <em>x</em> is equal to 4, we have 4(4) - 7.
4(4) is equal to 16.
So we have 16 - 7 which is equal to 9.
So the value of our expression when <em>x</em> is equal to 4 is 9.

Answer: -2/3</h3>
==================================================
Explanation:
Use the slope formula to find the slope of line E
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (10-8)/(4-7)
m = 2/(-3)
m = -2/3
The slope of line E is -2/3
The slope of line F is also -2/3 since parallel lines have equal slopes but different y intercepts.
