If you would like to solve the following system of equations, you can do this like this:
y = - 2 * x + 7
y = 1/3 * x
____________
1/3 * x = - 2 * x + 7
1/3 * x + 2 * x = 7
1/3 * x + 6/3 * x = 7
7/3 * x = 7 /*3/7
x = 7 * 3 / 7
x = 3
y = 1/3 * x = 1/3 * 3 = 1
The correct result would be: x = 3 and y = 1.
The question is:
A recipe for a batch of 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies calls for 3 cups
of flour 1 cup of suger and 2 cups of chocolate chips how much of each
ingredient should be used to make 2 dozen cookies?
find ratio
for 3 dozen batches, you need 3 cups of flour
so dozen of batches=number of cups of flour
then 3 dozen batches is 1 cup of sugar
so every dozen batches is 1/3 cup sugar
then 3 dozen batches is 2 cups choc chips
so every dozen is 2/3 cups choc chips
for 2 batches
that is 2 cup of flour
2/3 cup of sugar
and 4/3 cup chocolate chips
Answer:
(x+5)(x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can factor the equation to be
(x+5)(x-3)
