Answer: 60 cappuccinos were sold.
Explanation:
x = number of lattes sold
y = number of cappuccinos sold
Two equations can be set up:
x + y = 78
4x + 3y = 252
The first equation can be rearranged and substituted into the other equation to find the value of a variable.
y = 78 - x
4x + 3(78 - x) = 252
4x + 234 - 3x = 252
x + 234 = 252
x = 18
To find y, the value of x can be substituted into either equation.
x + y = 78
18 + y = 78
y = 60
To check answers, substitute both values into the original equations and make sure they work.
x + y = 78
18 + 60 = 78
78 = 78
4x + 3y = 252
4(18) + 3(60) = 252
72 + 180 = 252
252 = 252

</span>That is an expression. Make sure you don't put the "=" sign since it would become an EQUATION if you did.
First number = X
Second number = 8X
Third number = X - 3
The equation would be
X + (8X) + (X - 3) = 207
X + (8X) + (X - 3) = 207
X + 8X + X - 3 = 207
10X - 3 = 207
10X = 207 + 3
10X = 210
X = 21
First number = 21
Second number = 8 * 21 = 168
Third number = 21 - 3 = 18
I didn’t quite understand what you were asking, but the origin is (0,0) so you would plot a dot at the origin being (0,0) then depending on your other numbers, you’d plot them using your Y and X
