James sells two types of cupcakes. A basic chocolate cupcake is $2,75. His speciality chocolate covered strawberry cupcake is $3.75. He knows that he sold 185 cupcakes over the weekend and made $586.75, but he lost the paper that told him how many of each type of cupcake he sold. How many chocolate cupcakes and chocolate covered strawberry cupcakes
did he sell over the weekend?

107 chocolate cupcakes sold

78 chocolate covered strawberry cupcakes sold

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve one of these questions, you need to write two equations and then substitute back and forth to get the answer.

to start, we need to write an equation.

2.75c+3.75s=586.75

and c+s=185

reworking the second equation to isolate s, we'll then substitute it into the first one.

so s=185-c

2.75c+3.75(185-c)=586.75

2.75c+693.75-3.75c=586.75

combine like terms (the ones with a c variable attachment)

2.75c-3.75c=-1c

693.75-1c=586.75

-693.75

-107=-1c

/-1

107=c

put that back into the second equation

107+s=185

78=s

-362

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3

  \/         \/         \/         \/

  48 +   24 -   408 + 24 - 3

      \   /               \   /

          72     -     432 - 3 = -363

see below

step-by-step explanation:

x+2> 6

subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 > 6-2

x > 4

there is an open circle at 4 since is it is greater than and the line goes to the right
