Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, well we have to work backwards. 20 cookies, and she makes 5 bags. We need to find out what 'x' means. To do that, we take 20 cookies and divide it by 5. 4 cookies. Then we want to take 3 cookies out of each bag to find out how many cookies she first put in. 1 cookie.
Let's check:
bag 1:
o (one cookie)
bag 2:
o (one cookie)
bag 3:
o (one cookie)
bag 4:
o (one cookie)
bag 5:
o (one cookie)
Now we have 15 cookies left. Now let's put 3 in each:
bag 1:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
bag 2:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
bag 3:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
bag 4:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
bag 5:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
Now we have no cookies left, and we put 4 cookies in each. (o representing the first cookie, v representing the next three cookies)

Let's solve your system by substitution.
−3x+y=−2;y=4x
Rewrite equations:
y=4x;−3x+y=−2
Step: Solvey=4xfor y:
y=4x
Step: Substitute4xforyin−3x+y=−2:
−3x+y=−2
−3x+4x=−2
x=−2(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Step: Substitute−2forxiny=4x:
y=4x
y=(4)(−2)
y=−8(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=−2 and y=−8
