Ugh I hate these... Inverse property of multiplication.
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
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify:
24x-12=12
add 12 on both sides:
24x=24
divide both sides by 24
x=1
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The two numbers are
518
694
Step-by-step explanation:
As per requirements the two equations will be
X+Y=1212
X-Y=518
When we subtract these equations we get
X=1212-518
X=694
Now put the X value and find the Y value in any equation
X+Y= 1212
Y=1212-X
Where X = 694
Y=1212-694
Y=518
X=694 and Y=518
