Answer:
The system of equations are
x+y=557

The total pages in shorter book is 245
The total pages in longer book is 312
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Scott has read 407 of the total number of 557 pages, which
of the shorter book and
of longer book.
Total number of pages of shorter book be x and longer book be y.
Then,
page of the shorter book 
pages of the longer book = 
So, he has read 
Total number of pages of both book is = x+y
According to the problem,
x+y=557.........(1)
.......(2)
We can write equation (2) as



......(3)
Now 18 times of equation (1) subtract from equation (3)
18x+25y=12210
18x+18y=10026
- - -
_______________
25y-18y=12,210-10,026
⇒7y=2,184

⇒y= 312
Plug y=312 in equation (1)
x+312=557
⇒x=557-312
⇒x=245
The total pages in shorter book is 245
The total pages in longer book is 312
Answer:
b. 5:3
c. 20:12 or 20 cups of flour and 12 eggs
d. 10 cups of flour
e. 9 eggs
Step-by-step explanation:
b. take one point from each number line and simplify it (example 15:9) and simplify it so you get your ratio of (5:3)
c. our ratio for one batch of cookies is 5:3 so mulitply 4 on both sides to find 4 batches of cookies
d. look at your numberline that represents number of eggs, 6 aligns with the number 10 on the numberline that shows "flour in cups" making your answer 10 cups of flour.
e. same thing as the problem before look at your numberline that shows cups of flour (which in this problem its 15) and see where that aligns on the "number of eggs" numberline above.
