Abaker uses 3/4 cup of honey in one of his cakes. there are 60 calories in 1/8 cup of honey. how many calories are in 3/4 cup of honey? (3/4) / (7/8) (7/8) * (3/4) 60/(1/8)*(3/4) (1/8)*15 (1/8) / 60*(3/4)

If you want to know how many calories in 3/4 cup of honey, then just multiply 60 by 6, which is 360. So, there are in fact 360 calories in 3/4 cup of honey

3(x + 2y = 9) = 3x + 6y = 27 < I multiplied this equation by 3 to get the y value to cancel with the y value of the next equation

2(-x - 3y = -14) = -2x - 6y = -28 , I multiplied this equation by 2 to get the y value to cancel with the y value of the previous equation

   3x + 6y = 27

+ 2x  - 6y = -28

5x             = 55
             x  = 55/5
             x = 11

Then plug the 11 into one of the equations to solve for y.

x + 2y = 9
(11) + 2y = 9
           2y = 9 - 11
           2y = -2
             y = -2/2
             y = -1

hope this helps :)
