Phil ran 2 7/8 miles more than micheal
To solve, we will follow the steps below:
3x+y=11 --------------------------(1)
5x-y=21 ------------------------------(2)
since y have the same coefficient, we can eliminate it directly by adding equation (1) and (2)
adding equation (1) and (2) will result;
8x =32
divide both-side of the equation by 8
x = 4
We move on to eliminate x and then solve for y
To eliminate x, we have to make sure the coefficient of the two equations are the same.
We can achieve this by multiplying through equation (1) by 5 and equation (2) by 3
The result will be;
15x + 5y = 55 ----------------------------(3)
15x - 3y =63 --------------------------------(4)
subtract equation (4) from equation(3)
8y = -8
divide both-side of the equation by 8
y = -1

Answer:
3 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a proportion to find how many cups of chocolate chips she needs for 30 servings. Assuming c = cups of chocolate chips and b = batches
We can now multiply the diagonal values that don't include the missing variable (30 and 1) and then divide it by the value that is diagonal to the variable (10)
Therefore, she needs 3 cups of chocolate chips to make 30 servings.
This is the answer i got 147
