Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms

a. 2r + 3 + 4r = (2r + 4r) + 3 = 6r + 3

b. 8 + 3d + d = (3d + d) + 8 = 4d + 8

c. mn + (-3mn) + 6 = (mn - 3mn) + 6 = -2mn + 6

d. 10s + (-10) + (-4s) = (10s - 4s) - 10 = 14s - 10

Terms are called "like terms" if they have the same variable part (the same letters in the same powers). Like terms differ at most coefficient.

A cake manufacturer boxes Swiss chocolate and German chocolate cakes at one site. A box of Swiss chocolate cake contains 0.55 lb

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

2,500 German chocolate cake boxes.

1,500 Swiss chocolate cake boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'S' be the number of Swiss chocolate cakes boxed and 'G' the number of German cholocate cakes boxed. If all of the available ingredients are used:

$0.55*S +0.59*G = 2,300\\0.45*S+0.41*G = 1,700$

Solving the linear system above:

$(0.55 *S +0.59*G)- \frac{0.55}{0.45} (0.45*S+0.41*G)= 2,300-\frac{0.55}{0.45}*1,700*\\0.088888*G = 222.222\\G=2,500\\S =\frac{2,300-2,500*0.59}{0.55}\\S=1500$
