So f=flour s=sugar.
Set up equation:
3f+2s=32, 4f=32. So first solve the second equation.
4f=32. Divide 4 on both sides. Thus 8=f. Then plug in f into other equation.
3f+2s=32, —-> 3(8)+2s=32.
Which gives you 24+2s=32. Subtract 24 from both sides. Thus 2s=8. Divide 2 on both sides.
S=4. So for every 8 pounds of flour there is 4 pounds of sugar. If I understood correctly.
