The cost of 8 muffins and 2 quarts of milk is $18. The cost of 3 muffins and 1 quart of milk is $7.50. Write a system of equations to represent the situation. Solve the system of equations by substitution. Explain what the solution means.

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

10 down (bang1)

5 up

5down (2)

2.5 up

2.5 down (3)

1.25 up

1.25 down (4)

now add them up : )

hoped i lol

- (2, -7)

- lines r and s and lines t and u must be parallel
