One shake and two beef burritos provide 3040 calories. Two shakes and one beef burrito provide 2840 calories. Find the caloric content of each item.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shake be x and the burrito y

x + 2y = 3040 ---- (1)

2x + y = 2840 ---- (2)

Make x the subject of formula in equation (1)

x + 2y - 2y = 3040 - 2y

x = 3040 - 2y

Substitute x = 3040 - 2y for x in equation (2)

2(3040 - 2y) + y = 2840

6080 - 4y + y = 2840

6080 - 3y = 2840

Subtract 2840 from both sides of the equation and add 3y to both sides of the equation

6080 - 3y + 3y - 2840 = 2840 - 2840 + 3y

6080 - 2840 = 3y

3y = 3240

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x(which is 3)

y = 1080

Substitute y = 1080 for y in equation (2)

2x + 1080 = 2840

2x = 2840 - 1080

2x = 1760

x = 880

∴ The caloric content of one shake is 880 and for one burrito is 1080

Hope this helps

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

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies, but no more than 40 cookies; 5 ≤ x ≤ 40
