If you have information about 5 servings, assuming that all servings have the same calories, the information about one serving is simply obtained by dividing the total by 5.
So, each serving has
calories
5x + 7y = 17 x + 4y = 19
1 answer:
<h2>Answer:</h2>
5x + 7y = 17 ....(1)
x + 4y = 19 .....(2)
<u>From equation 2</u>
x + 4y = 19
x = 19 - 4y
<u>Putting the value of x in Equation (1)</u>
5(19 - 4y) + 7y = 17
95 - 20y + 7y = 17
- 20y + 7y = 17 - 95
-13y = -78
y =
y = 6
<u>Now, putting the value of y in equation </u><u>(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u>
x + 4y = 19
x + 4(6) = 19
x + 24 = 19
x = 19 - 24
x = -5
<u>Therefore, the value of y is 6 and value of x is -5</u>
