6x−16
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
3.5 hours for 1 cake means 3.5 hours per cake.
similar : 2 hours for 1 pie means 2 hours per pie.
so, if there are e.g. 3 pies, they take 3×2 = 6 hours.
therefore the general constraint is
3.5x1 + 2x2 <= 70
I think the names "x1" and "x2" are confusing when writing this inequality.
I prefer to use x and y.
and then it would look like
3.5x + 2y <= 70
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Factor
out of 
The first sentence → x - 2y = -1
the second one → 3x - 2y = -3
multiply the first one by -1
you can get → -x + 2y = 1
plus two sentences together
you can get → 2x = -2
so you are able to know that x = -1
and y = 0
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation
Hello!
3x/4 + 6=42
3x/4=42-6 = 36
3x = 36*4
3x = 144
x= 144/3 =48
3/4 of 48 = (48*3) / 4 =36
36+6=42
the original number is 48
