Hey there!
To figure out what "x" means, you can divide the numbers 126 and 14 . . .
126 divided by 14 = 9
9 x 14 = 126
9 = x
----------------
x = 9
----------------
Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
Hello :

Answer:
x = 5 , y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this using substitution.
Let the quantity of cheese wafers be denoted by x and the quantity of chocolate wafers denoted by y
2x + 1y = 25
x + y = 20
These two equations are the answer to part A, (remember to include the above prompt which says what x and y denote).
For part B I used substitution because it was more applicable to the question then addition or elimination.
ACTUAL WORK
Set 2x + 1y = 25 equal to x
x = 25 - y / 2
Replace x with y in the second equation
(25 - y / 2) + y = 20
And solve for y
y = 15
Since we know what y is we can replace y in the second equation and find what x is
x + 15 = 20
Solve for x
x = 5
For this case we have the following system of equations:

We multiply the first equation by -1:

We have the following equivalent system:

We add the equations:

Equality is not fulfilled, so the system of equations has no solution.
