Let "b" represent the number of biscuits Jacky baked.
.. container A holds (3/7)b
.. container B holds (1 -3/7)*(5/8)b = (5/14)b
.. container C holds (1 -3/7 -5/14)b = (3/14)b = 168
Then
.. b = 168/(3/14) = 784
Jacky baked 784 biscuits.

Answer:
x=-4 y=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your system by substitution.
−3x−8y=20;y=5x+19
Rewrite equations:
y=5x+19;−3x−8y=20
Step: Solve y=5x+19for y:
y=5x+19
Step: Substitute5x+19foryin−3x−8y=20:
−3x−8y=20
−3x−8(5x+19)=20
−43x−152=20(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−43x−152+152=20+152(Add 152 to both sides)
−43x=172
−43x
−43
=
172
−43
(Divide both sides by -43)
x=−4
Step: Substitute−4forxiny=5x+19:
y=5x+19
y=(5)(−4)+19
y=−1(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=−4 and y=−1
