Answer:
D=3x+5, I=4x+8, -1x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
You don't know how many chocolates are in the boxes, so that's x. Always look at "and" and think + something. You know how many extra chocolates there are so you don't need to put the x. Remember, and=plus. Remember the equation is Mx+b.
The two expressions together is 3x+5=4x+8. Move the 4x to the other side with 3x+5 and make it negative. Same for eight. Hopefully that helps.
15 cups, I am pretty sure, i might be under thinking it
Find two numbers with a sum of 20 and a difference of 14
Make two equations
X+Y=20
X-Y=14
Now add x since y cancels out and add 20+14 To end up with
2x=34
Now divide 2 both sides to get x alone
2x/2=34/2
X=17
Now substitute x answer to first equation and solve for y
17+y=20
Subtract 17 both sides
Y= 3
Your two numbers are
3 and 17
