Answer:
there is a greater chance that she selects a even number because there are 4 even numbers and 3 odd numbers
The solution is (1,3). This is where the two lines intersect.
The closest answer I can see you type is: 35/1.66666666
This is because you divide 21 by 18 which (if you divide 21 by 1.666666 you get 18) and whatever you do to 1 side, you do to the other, then you get 35/1.6666666
Answer: the cost of one package of macadamia nut chip cookie dough is $1.5
the cost of one package of triple chocolate cookie dough is $2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one package of macadamia nut chip cookie dough.
Let y represent the cost of one package of triple chocolate cookie dough.
Mrs. Julien’s class sold 25 packages of macadamia nut chip cookie dough and 30 packages of triple chocolate cookie dough for a total of $112.50. This means that
25x + 30y = 112.5 - - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Mrs. Castillejo’s class sold 8 packages of macadamia nut chip cookie dough and 45 packages of triple chocolate cookie dough for a total of $124.50. This means that
8x + 45y = 124.5 - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 8 and equation 2 by 25, it becomes
200x + 240y = 900
200x + 1125 = 3112.5
Subtracting, it becomes
- 885y = - 2212.5
y = - 2212.5/- 885
y = 2.5
Substituting y = 2.5 into equation 1, it becomes
25x + 30 × 2.5 = 112.5
25x + 75 = 112.5
25x = 112.5 - 75 = 37.5
x = 37.5/25 = 1.5
The method used is the elimination method. It is more convenient to use.

Explanation:
sum -- the result of addition: 5x+1
term -- a constant, variable, or product of a constant and one or more variables. In the more general sense, a term is any part of the expression that can be considered by itself. An example is 5x
product -- the result of multiplication: 9(5x+1), where 9 is multiplied by the sum (5x+1)
factor -- part of a product: x
quotient -- the result of division: 9(5x+1)÷3
coefficient -- a constant, or the constant that multiplies the variables in a term: 5

<em>Additional comment</em>
The way this is written, there will be the tendency to think of 3y as a term in the same sense that 5x is a term. That would be incorrect. The Order of Operations has you interpret this expression as ...
