She can prepare her recipe 5 times, with some material left over.
[Given]
{ x + y = 6
{ x = y + 4
[Plug-in our x value & solve]
[Given] x + y = 6
[ Plug-in] (y + 4) + y = 6
[Distribute] y + 4 + y = 6
[Combine like terms] 2y + 4 = 6
[Subtract 4 from both sides] 2y = 2
[Divide both sides by 2] y = 1
[Answer]
Third option - (5, 1)
-> You do not need to solve for x since this is the only option that has y = 1, but to solve for x we would do y + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5, so this answer fully checks correctly

You first must find the 18% of the fish population.
You multiply 500 by .18 . You are supposed to get 90.
90 is the 18% fish increase.
Then you just add 500 + 90 and you will get 590 fish that are now in the school.
<u>Your answer is 28x^2-37x+12</u>
<u>1) Use the FOIL method: (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd</u>
28x^2-21x-16x+12
<u>2) Collect like terms</u>
28x^2+(-21-16x)+12
<u>3) Simplify</u>
28x^2-37x+12
