-4x+y= -9 can be turned into
y= -9 + 4x
5x+2y=3 (plug y in)
5x+2(-9+4x)=3
5x-18+8x=3
5x+8x=3+18
13x=21
divide 13 on both sides
x=1.6
<span>B. 16 quarts of the 2% milk and 24 quarts of the 7% milk
First, let's create an equation to solve.
x = quarts of 2% milk
(40-x) = quarts of 7% milk
So we have the equation
x*2 + (40-x)*7 = 40*5
Now to solve for x
x*2 + (40-x)*7 = 40*5
x*2 + 7*40 - 7*x = 40*5
x*2 - 7*x = 40*5 - 7*40
-5*x = - 2*40
x = 2*8
x = 16
So we need 16 quarts of 2% milk and 40-16 = 24 quarts of 7%, which matches option "B".</span>
