Answer:
1. x = 8
2. y = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Plug the function
5x + 20(0.50) = 50
= 5x + 10 = 50
Subtract 10 from both side
= 5x = 40
Divide 5 on both sides
= x = 8
2. Plug in the function
5(8) + 20y = 50
= 40 + 20y = 50
Subtract 40 on both sides
= 20y = 10
Divide 20 both sides
= y = 10/20 | 1/2
Both have the same denominator
Remove the denominator
5=n
I'm pretty sure you just multiply the 1 1/4 by 3 because if 1 1/4 makes 10 muffins you need to make 3 more dozens so 1 1/4 times 3 equals 3.75
