Bella uses 2 sticks of butter for 20 cakes. she used 8 sticks of butter for 50 cakes. how many sticks of butter will be needed for 60 cakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of sticks of butter

y ----> the number of cakes

In this problem we have the ordered pairs

(2,20) and (8,50)

Find the slope

Find the linear equation in slope intercept form

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

substitute

solve for b

substitute

For y=60 cakes

substitute in the linear equation and solve for x

y-1700=200(x+4)

step-by-step explanation:

200(x+4) is 200x + 800 she is saving 200 per week x is the weeks and the -1700 is. us that’s howmuch she already had

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.
