Step-by-step explanation:
11/4 x + 3/2y = 34
since for 3/2teaspoon of balsamic vinegar 11/4 teaspoon of olive oil is added.
hence the number of times you add 3/2teaspoon of balsamic vinegar should be the same as the number of times you add 11/4teaspoon of olive oil.
Hence y = x
11/4y + 3/2y = 34
multiplying through by 4 gives:
11y + 6y = 4 × 34
17y = 4 × 34
dividing both sides by 7 gives:
y = 4 × 2 = 8
x = 8
hence you add 11/4(8) = 22 table spoon of olive oil to 3/2(8) = 12 table spoon of balsamic vinegar to get 34 teaspoon of bread dip.
