6(x +y) -(a +b) = 6(-5) -(-5)
= -25
This situation of the recipe can be represented as y=x+5.5 and it is expected that x is ≥ 0 and y is ≥ 5.5.
<h3>What is the equation for this situation?</h3>
It is known the total amount of flour (y) is equivalent to the total amount of whole wheat flour (5.5) added to the total white flour (x). Therefore, the equation is:
y = x + 5.5
The possible values are
x = It is expected x is equalthan 0 or greater to it since the minimum amount of white flour that can be added is 0.
y = It is expected y is equal than 5.5 or greater to it since even if no
white flour is added the minimum total is 5.5.

Let x and y be the numbers;
We have x + 2y = 9 and 2x + y = 21;
Then, x = 9 - 2y;
Finally, 2(9-2y) + y = 21 ;
18 - 4y + y = 21;
18 - 3y = 21;
-3y = 3;
y = - 1;
x = 9 - 2× (-1);
x = 9 + 2 ;
x = 11;
