Otto used 6 cups of whole wheat flour and x cups of white flour in the recipe. What is the equation that can be used to find the value of y, the total amount of flour that Otto used in the recipe, and what are the constraints on the values of x and y?

Sagot :

Well, there are [tex]x[/tex] amounts of white flower and 6 cups of wheat flower.

So the total flower is [tex]x+6[/tex]

Given that [tex]y[/tex] is the total, the equation you would use is:
[tex]y=x+6[/tex]

The constraints are as follows:
y can only be [tex] \geq [/tex] 6

And if y=0, x would have to be -6 (which is impossible) 

The expression for the total number of cups used is given as

y = 6+x

Inequality

Given Data

Number of cups of whole wheat flour = 6 cups

Number of cups of white  flour = x cups

let the total number of cups used be y, hence

y = 6+x --------- the expression for the total number of cups of flour used.

The constraints on the values of x and y are

[tex]y\geq 6[/tex]

[tex]x\geq 1[/tex]
