The total number of cereal boxes and milk cartons she bought was 5. Which graph best shows the number of cereal boxes and milk cartons Hannah bought?

Answer 1

Answer: It’s A i took the quiz

Explanation:

Answer 2

Graph A

Explanation:

Let

x-------> the number of cereal boxes

y------> the number of cartons of milk

we know that

`x+y=5` -----> equation A

`y=2+2x` -----> equation B

Solve the system of equations

Substitute equation B in equation A

`x+(2+2x)=5`

`3x=5-2`

`3x=3`

`x=1`

Find the value of y

`y=2+2x`------
`y=2+2(1)=4`

The solution of the system is the point
`(1,4)`

therefore

The answer is the graph A
