First, you have to set up two equations.
X + y = 45
18x + 24y = 1,050
To do this, you have to solve for an exponent by cancelling out the other one. To solve for y, you multiply everything in the first equation by -18.
-18x -18y = -810
This cancels out the x and leaves you with 6y = 240. Divide both sides by 6 and you have the number of Yankee hats that were bought.
Then, you have to substitute 40 for y in the first equation and solve for x.
You want to get the x's on one side and all the other numbers on the other side of the equation.
2x-5x+6=0
2x-5x=-6
-3x=-6
x=2

4/8 is bigger. Before you take 4 of the pieces, the whole thing is only cut up into 8 pieces, not 10, so the pieces are bigger.
