− 2 3 y − 3 5 x 2 9 − 4 5 x 1 3 y Let x = 5 and y = 3. − 2 3 (3) − 3 5 (5) 2 9 − 4 5 (5) 1 3 (3) = −2 − 3 2 9 − 4 1 = −77 9 Use
the work shown. Which expression is equivalent to Negative two-thirds y minus three-fifths x StartFraction 2 over 9 EndFraction minus four-fifths x one-third y? y minus four-fifths x StartFraction 2 over 9 EndFraction minus two-thirds y minus one-fifth x Negative y minus four-fifths x StartFraction 2 over 9 EndFraction two-thirds y three-fifths x One-third y minus StartFraction 7 over 5 EndFraction x two-thirds minus two-thirds y minus StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction Two-thirds y minus StartFraction 7 over 5 EndFraction x StartFraction 2 over 9 EndFraction y.
We got two solutions. One is fraction other is whole number. We will not consider fraction because the amount of muffins sold must be whole number. So our solution is: x>3
