Question

One day, a café sells 3 more than twice the number of cappuccinos as they do lattes. They sold a total of 33 cappuccinos and lattes
together.
Which equation could be used to find the number of lattes, x, sold at the café?

Answer 1

Answer:

x +(2x + 3) = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

two equations can be derived from the question

c = 3 + 2x equation 1

c + x = 33 equation 2

where :

c =  cappuccinos

x =  lattes

make c the subject of the formula in equation 2

c = 33 - x equation 3

equate 3 and 1

x +(2x + 3) = 33
