Answer:

\#\text{ of 8-onion bags: }4,\\\#\text{ of 3-onion bags: }3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the number of bags with 8 onions and let b be the number of bags with 3 onions. We have the following system of equations:

\begin{cases}a+b=7,\\8a+3b=41\end{cases}

Subtracting b from both sides of the first equation, we get a=7-b. Substitute this into the second equation:

8(7-b)+3b=41,\\56-8b+3b=41,\\56-5b=41,\\-5b=-15,\\b=\boxed{3}

Therefore, the number of 8-onion bags is:

a=7-b,\\a=7-3,\\a=\boxed{4}

Thus, the chef got 4 8-onion bags and 3 3-onion bags.

8 times the difference between a number and 6 is equal to 4 times the number.
iVinArrow [24]
8(x - 6) = 4x
Distribute.
8x - 48 = 4x
Subtract 8x from both sides.
8x -8x - 48 =4x -8x
Now you have...
-48 = -4x
Divide -4 by both sides.
-48/-4 = -4x/-4
12 = x
The number is 12.
