The answer is x=-6 and y= 1
A(n)=a(1)+d(n-1), d=a(16)-a(15)=-5-(-53)=48
a(15)=a(1)+d*(15-1),
-53=a(1)+48*(15-1),
a(1)=-53-48*14= -725
a(n)=-725+48(n-1)
I assume you mean 5/8 of a pound not 58 pounds. In that case convert your total number of pounds into eights to make it easier to calculate. 5 pounds is equal to 40/8 pounds of cheese. Now divide this by 5/8. That equals 8. SO you can make 8 batches.
First - 8
second - 4
third - 12
fourth - 9
