Question

Hannah bought x boxes of cereal boxes and y cartons of milk. The number of milk cartons she bought was 2 more than twice the number of cereal boxes she bought. The total number of cereal boxes and milk cartons she bought was 5. Which graph best shows the number of cereal boxes and milk cartons Hannah bought?

Answer 1

The answer is "a" because she has 5 total. 

Answer 2

Answer:

Graph A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the number of cereal boxes

y------> the number of cartons of milk

we know that

$x+y=5$ -----> equation A

$y=2+2x$ -----> equation B

Solve the system of equations

Substitute equation B in equation A

$x+(2+2x)=5$

$3x=5-2$

$3x=3$

$x=1$

Find the value of y

$y=2+2x$------ $y=2+2(1)=4$

The solution of the system is the point $(1,4)$

therefore

The answer is the graph A
