Answer 1

d=6b+7

d=4b+9

Explanation:

Answer 2

6x₁ + 7y₁ = ddd

4x₂ + 9y₂ =ddd

Explanation:

Let's call x₁ the pounds of beef sold on saturday and we call y₁ the pounds of pork sold on saturday. We will also call x₂ the amount of pounds of beef sold on sunday and y₂ the amount of pork sold on sunday. And we call ddd the revenue made each day, we know that both days the butcher made the same revenue.

We would have these equations:

6x₁ + 7y₁ = ddd

4x₂ + 9y₂ =ddd
