Answer:
A- X= 20÷5-3
B- 20÷5=4; 4-3=1
C- X=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, well we have to work backwards. 20 cookies, and she makes 5 bags. We need to find out what 'x' means. To do that, we take 20 cookies and divide it by 5. 4 cookies. Then we want to take 3 cookies out of each bag to find out how many cookies she first put in. 1 cookie.
Let's check:
bag 1:
o (one cookie)
bag 2:
o (one cookie)
bag 3:
o (one cookie)
bag 4:
o (one cookie)
bag 5:
o (one cookie)
Now we have 15 cookies left. Now let's put 3 in each:
bag 1:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
bag 2:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
bag 3:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
bag 4:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
bag 5:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
Now we have no cookies left, and we put 4 cookies in each. (o representing the first cookie, v representing the next three cookies)
3x - y = 0 . . . (1)
5x + 2y = 22 . . . (2)
From (1), y = 3x . . . (3)
Putting (3) into (2) gives:
5x + 2(3x) = 22
5x + 6x = 22
11x = 22
x = 2
From (3), y = 3(11) = 33
x = 11, y = 33.
Answer: Point form: ( 3 , -1 )
Equation form: X= 3 and Y= -1
