Answer:

2x +3y=1⇒equation 1

3x=2y+8

3x-2y=8⇒equation 2

by elimination method,

2x+3y=1 ×2

3x-2y=8 ×3

4x+6y=2

9x-6y=24

cut 6y and -6y

4x+6y=2

9x-6y=24

---------------

13x+0=26

13x=26

x=26/13

x=2

substitute x=2 in equation 1

2(2)+3y=1

4+3y=1

3y=1-4

3y=-3

y=-3/3

y=-1

therefore, x=2 and y=-1

hope it helps u!

Since you have to mix all of it together, the whole cocktail is 20+10+15=45.
And the portion that is coconut milk is 15ml. So that means there is 15 out of 45 or 15/45 coconut milk in the cocktail. Then the simpelest form is 1/3.
