Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate any variable, x or y, but since y has already been isolated, use y to solve for x.
Substitute y into the first equation -3x-3y=3
This equals -3x - 3 (-5x - 17) = 3
Distribute to get -3x + 15x + 51 = 3
Then bring like terms together. -3x + 15x = 3 - 51
12x = -48
Solve for x
x = -4
Substitute -4 for x in the equation: y = -5x - 17
y = − 5x − 17
y = (−5) (−4) − 17
y = 20 - 17
y = 3 ( Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x = − 4 and y = 3
Answer:
So, when we solve for x we see that we can make 16 cookies using 1 cup of sugar. Then, yes, as you suggested we could divide 30 cookies by this ratio to see that we need less than 2 cups of sugar to make 30 cookies: And, as you said, this value is less than 2 cups, the value under Quantity B. Good job! I hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 4/9. If you keep simplifying by using two.
Your answer would be
96
