You add two equations together to eliminate a variable. This particular problem is nice, because it's already setup to eliminate X.
3x - 4y = 9
<span>-3x + 2y = 9
</span>
When we add these two together, 3x - 3x cancels each other out, leaving us with 0x, or nothing.
We continue with -4y + 2y (leaves us with -2y) and 9+9 (18).
-2y = 18
18/-2 = -9.
Now we have y = -9, and we can go back into the problems to solve for x.
<span>3x - 4(-9) = 9
</span>
3x + 36 = 9.
3x = -27
x = -9.
Confirm with the final equation:
-3(-9) + 2(-9) = 9
27 - 18 = 9
9 = 9 --- Confirmed.
For every 3 tablespoons of cocoa, Nate uses 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Since the sugar is halved, the cocoa should be halved as well. 6/2 is 3.
So, the first thing you should do is break it down. First how much space can she have, and how many hotdogs and hamburgers would she have know the amount of space. Then you would find the amount of money she would make if she sold the food, and how much she would spend for inventory. Hope this helps!
