Answer:
Explanation:
- New York style cheesecakes - x
- Apple cheesecakes - y
We have:
- 14x + 7y = 301
- 7x + 10y = 274
Solve the above system by elimination, double the second equation and subtract the first one:
- 2(7x) + 2(10y) - 14x - 7y = 2(274) - 301
- 14x - 14x + 20y - 7y = 548 - 301
- 13y = 247
- y = 247/13
- y = 19
Find x:
- 14x + 7*19 = 301
- 14x + 133 = 301
- 14x = 301 - 133
- 14x = 168
- x = 168/14
- x = 12
