All you have to do is 144/12=12 so therefore there are 12 packages of cookies they had to bake for a fundraiser.
For this case we have the following equations:
2x - 3y = 1
2x + 3y = 2
When adding both equations we observe that:
Sentence 1: we have an equation of a variable, which in this case will be x. We can clear the value of x.
Sentence 2: Knowing the value of x, we can substitute in any equation and find the value of y.
Sentence 3: The value of x and y represents the point of intersection of both lines (x, y).
