Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using elimination, and fill in the blanks
An employee at an organic food store is assembling gift baskets for a display. Using wicker
baskets, the employee assembled 5 small baskets and 3 large baskets, using a total of 79
pieces of fruit. Using wire baskets, the employee assembled 4 small baskets and 10 large
baskets, using a total of 162 pieces of fruit. Assuming that each small basket includes the
same amount of fruit, as does every large basket, how many pieces are in each?
The small baskets each include
pieces
pieces and the large ones each include

good luck on your studies! : )

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

126 maybe. sorry

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
