The answer to the question would be B which is 169.91 dollars
Let
x = loaves of bread
y = batches of muffins
You must make a system of two equations with two unknowns that describe the problem
3.5x + 2.5y = 17 --- (1)
0.75x + 0.75y = 4.5 --- (2)
Resolving we have
x = 6-y (from (2))
replacing in (1)
3.5 (6-y) + 2.5y = 17
21 - 3.5y + 2.5y = 17
y = 21-17 = 4
Then substituting in (2)
x = 6-y = 6-4 = 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To make this a bit easier to see, we'll expand that expression.
R to the 9th is just r times itself 9 times. R to the third is r times itself 3 times.
(excuse my bad formatting)
<u>The expression:</u>
<u>r • r • r • r • r • r • r • r • r • 1</u>
r • r • r • 1
Remember, anything and everything has a coefficient or denominator of 1.
So, we can cancel 3 r's from the numerator and denominator.
<u>r • r • r • r • r • r • 1</u>
1
Simplify....

That just equals
