Answer:

• Gayle: 14

• Crystal: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g represent the number of paperclips Gayle has. Then 42/g is the number Crystal has. The relationship between the two numbers is said to be ...

g - (42/g) = 11

Multiplying by g gives ...

g^2 -42 = 11g

g^2 -11g -42 = 0 . . . . subtract 11 g to put into standard form

To factor this, you are looking for two factors of -42 that sum to -11.

-42 = -42·1 = -21·2 = -14·3 = -7·6

You can see that -14 and 3 sum to -11, so the factoring is ...

(g -14)(g +3) = 0

g = 14 . . . . . . . . . . makes the product zero. (The g=-3 solution is extraneous.)

Gayle has 14 paperclips and Crystal has 3.

Answer:

He made 5 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

49 divided by 7 = 7

70 divided by 7 = 10

63 divided by 7 = 9

So for one cake you would need 7 g sugar, 8 g butter, 10 g flour, and 9 ml milk. So, 50 divided by 10 = 5 cakes
