Answer:
Cylinder=3 ounces
Prism=4 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
First this is a question with 2 variables so we must either use the elimination method or substitution method to solve this.
Elimination method:
Cylinders=y
Prisms=x
We know that
4y+5x=32
1y+8x=35
So now we must get rid of one of the variable
4y+5x=32
1y+8x=35 (times 4)
you would get
4y+5x=32
4y+32x=140
when you delete the y you would get
-27x=-108
x=4
and if we plot this in the equation
y+8(4)=35
y+32=35
y=3
So you get an answer of Prism=x=4 ounces and Cylinder=y=3 ounces
I hope this helped with your question!! :)
