The school is having a bake sale and the math club is bringing cupcakes. They have 180 total cupcakes, both chocolate and strawb

jeka57 [31]

Let $s$ be the number of strawberry cupcakes, and $c$ the number of chocolate cupcakes.
From our problem we know that the total number of cupcakes is 180, so $c+s=180$ . We also know that the number of chocolate cupcakes is eighteen more than twice the number of strawberry cupcakes, so $c-18=2s$ , or solving for $c$ : $c=2s+18$ .
Know we have our system of equations:
$\left \{ {{c+s=180} \atop {c=2s+18}} \right.$
We can conclude that the correct answer is B. c + s = 180 c = 2s + 18.

Lets solve our equations to find how many cupcakes of each they have:
from our second equation we know that $c=2s+18$ ; lets replace that value in our first equation to find the number of strawberry cupcakes:
$2s+18+2=180$
$3s=162$
$s= \frac{162}{3}$
$s=54$
Now that we know the number of strawberry cupcakes, lets replace that value in our second equation to find the number of chocolate cupcakes:
 $c=2(54)+18$
$c=108+18$
$c=126$
As a bonus, we can conclude that the math club have 126 chocolate cupcakes and 54 strawberry cupcakes.

Transmutation is the process of changing the substance, tangible or not, from one form to the other. It means the transformation of one element in the periodic table into another by one or a series of nuclear decays or reactions. One type of transmutation is nuclear transmutation. Nuclear transmutation is the conversion of one chemical element or isotope into another though nuclear reactions or nuclear decay. Second type of transmutation is artificial transmutation. Artificial transmutation occur in machinery that uses nough energy to cause changes in the nuclear structure of the elements.
