Helena needs 3.5 cups of flour per loaf of bread and 2.5 cups of flour per batch of muffins. she also needs 0.75 cup of sugar per loaf of bread and 0.75 cup of sugar per batch of muffins. helena has 17 cups of flour and 4.5 cups of sugar available for baking. which combination of loaves of bread and batches of muffins could helena bake? who knows the

Let
 x = loaves of bread
 y = batches of muffins
 You must make a system of two equations with two unknowns that describe the problem
 3.5x + 2.5y = 17 --- (1)
 0.75x + 0.75y = 4.5 --- (2)
 Resolving we have
 x = 6-y (from (2))
 replacing in (1)
 3.5 (6-y) + 2.5y = 17
 21 - 3.5y + 2.5y = 17
 y = 21-17 = 4
 Then substituting in (2)
 x = 6-y = 6-4 = 2
 Answer
 Helena could bake:
 2 loaves of bread
 4 batches of muffins

Answer: the correct answer is 10step-by-step explanation: let the number be n, then the expression becomes,then“twelve more than the quotient of a number and two, decreased by four” iswhen n=4,we substitute 4 whetever we see n to get,we simplify to obtain,we further simplify to get,therefore the correct answer is c.

Idon't know what's the answer lol
