A jeweler had a fixed amount of gold to make bracelets and necklaces. The amount of gold in each bracelet is 5 grams and the amount of gold in each necklace is 22 grams. The jeweler made a total of 17 bracelets and necklaces using 238 grams of gold. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of bracelets made and the number of necklaces made. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

x+y= 17

5x+22y= 238

Step-by-step explanation:

x= # of bracelets

y= # of necklaces

5x+22y= 238

x+y=17

6 on both sides and twelve on the top and the bottom

step-by-step explanation:

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
