Answer:
x = 5 , y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this using substitution.
Let the quantity of cheese wafers be denoted by x and the quantity of chocolate wafers denoted by y
2x + 1y = 25
x + y = 20
These two equations are the answer to part A, (remember to include the above prompt which says what x and y denote).
For part B I used substitution because it was more applicable to the question then addition or elimination.
ACTUAL WORK
Set 2x + 1y = 25 equal to x
x = 25 - y / 2
Replace x with y in the second equation
(25 - y / 2) + y = 20
And solve for y
y = 15
Since we know what y is we can replace y in the second equation and find what x is
x + 15 = 20
Solve for x
x = 5
Divide it into chunks of area you can find. One way to divide it is
.. a rectangle 2 mi x 5 mi at upper left.
.. a rectangle 8 mi x 6 mi down the middle
.. a rectangle 3 mi x 4 mi at lower right
.. a triangle 5 mi x 6 mi at lower left
Then the sum of areas is
.. (2 mi)*(5 mi) +(8 mi)*(6 mi) +(3 mi)*(4 mi) + (1/2)*(5 mi)*(6 mi)
.. = 10 mi^2 +48 mi^2 +12 mi^2 +15 mi^2
.. = 85 mi^2
