Subtract 5 from each side. Use MAN strategy to determine that x = 5 and x = -1.
Let
x = loaves of bread
y = batches of muffins
You must make a system of two equations with two unknowns that describe the problem
3.5x + 2.5y = 17 --- (1)
0.75x + 0.75y = 4.5 --- (2)
Resolving we have
x = 6-y (from (2))
replacing in (1)
3.5 (6-y) + 2.5y = 17
21 - 3.5y + 2.5y = 17
y = 21-17 = 4
Then substituting in (2)
x = 6-y = 6-4 = 2
Answer
Helena could bake:
2 loaves of bread
4 batches of muffins
It takes 6 hours to reach the destination when traveling at 388 mph.
Speed is the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken It is given by:
Speed = distance/time
Given that it takes 4 hours to reach a destination when travelling at 582mph, hence the distance is:
582 = distance / 4
distance = 2328 miles
If travelling at 388 mph, the time is:
388 = 2328 / time
time = 6 hours
Hence it takes 6 hours to reach the destination when traveling at 388 mph.
