A. 2x+y=25; x+y=20
x represents cheese wafers and y represents chocolate wafers.
B. I will choose elimination since there is y and y. I can multiply one equation by -1 to get y and -y, which cancels out.
2x+y=25
-x-y=-20
Add equations
x=5
Plug x in
5+y=20
y=15
Final answer: 5 cheese wafers, 15 chocolate wafers
Hello,
First we work out the equations:
x + y =62 will be the first equation.
2x= y +13 is the second equation.
We can first rewrite the second equation as 2x – y =13.
So we have:
x + y = 62
2x –y =13
KEEP IN MIND: With y being positive in one of the equations and negative in the other, we can combine the equations to quickly eliminate y and solve for x.
x + y = 62
+2x –y =13
3x = 75 divide both sides by 3 to get x.
x = 25
Now that we have x we can substitute the value for x, 25.
25 + y = 62 we can subtract 25 from both sides to get y.
y = 62- 25
y = 37
2(25) = 37 + 13
Therefore,
50 = 50
Have a amazing day.
