23 over 21 is the right answer
23
----
21
+5 on both sides
So you're left with 2x=33
Divide 2 from both sides
X= 16.5
Answer:
since we are not given the options, I will write down a few equations that represent the number of French bread loaves and bagels:
- a = number of loaves of French bread
- b = number of bagels
- available amount of flour = 38
2a + b ≤ 38
2a ≤ 38 - b
a ≤ (38 - b) / 2
a ≤ 19 - 0.5b
b ≤ 38 - 2a
b ≤ 2(19 - a)
Hopefully one of these equations is one of the choices given to you.
