Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
it depends. if (for example) y=x2 then there are an infinite amount of answers. if there is an equation like: If (variable X)= (variable Y) + 5 and if X=5, what is Y? then there is only one answer. check an algebra book, it can give you a more detailed answer.
Answer:
Sticks of butter : 2
Number of cookies : 40
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Given that :You need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 giant cookies you bake.</em>
<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>
<em>Sticks of butter Number of cookies</em>
<em> 3 24</em>
<em> x 16</em>
<em>5 y</em>
<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>
<em>Let the unknown be x and y..</em>
<em>Since you need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 giant cookies you back</em>
<em>Then 24/3 = 8</em>
<em>Since the number of cookies is 16 then 16/8 = 2</em>
<em>Thus x = 2</em>
<em>Next for y.</em>
<em>Since you need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 giant cookies you back</em>
<em>Then 5 * 8 = 40</em>
<em>Thus, y = 40</em>
<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>
<em>Completed table below:</em>
<em>Sticks of butter Number of cookies</em>
<em> 3 24</em>
2 <em> 16</em>
<em>5 </em><em>40</em>
<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>
