Answer: she uses 2 eggs for one batch of brownies and 4 eggs for one batch of cookies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of eggs that she uses for one batch of brownies.
Let y represent the number of eggs that she uses for one batch of cookies.
Last month, she made 2 batches of brownies and 3 batches of cookies. This means that
2x + 3y = 16 - - - - - - - - - -1
The month before, she baked 1 batch of brownies and 1 batch of cookies, which required a total of 6 eggs. This means that
x + y = 6 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2
Multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 2, it becomes
2x + 3y = 16
2x + 2y = 12
Subtracting, it becomes
y = 4
Substituting y = 4 into equation 2, it becomes
x + 4 = 6
x = 6 - 4 = 2
I hope this helps you

Answer:
135 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
y -----> the number of pages to finish reading the book
x ----> the number of hours
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to
where
m is the unit rate or slope of the linear equation
b is the y-intercept or initial value
In this problem we have
<em>Xanthia</em>
----> the slope is negative because is a decreasing function
For y=0
substitute and solve for x
---> Xanthia's time to finish reading the book
<em>Molly</em>
----> the slope is negative because is a decreasing function
For y=0
--- Molly's time to finish reading the book
To find out how many more minutes than Xanthia would it take for Molly to finish reading the book, subtract Xanthia's time from Molly's time
Convert to minutes
Multiply by 60
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
a(n) = 12 - 3(n-1) , n = 1,2,3.,,
Discussion:
The terms are 12, 9, 6, 3 so we are apparently subtracting 3 from each succeeding term. . Hence
a(n) = 12 - 3(n-1) , n = 1,2,3.,,
Thank you,
MrB
