Otto used 6 cups of whole wheat flour and x cups of white flour in the recipe. What is the equation that can be used to find the value of y, the total amount of flour that Otto used in the recipe, and what are the constraints on the values of x and y?

Well, there are amounts of white flower and 6 cups of wheat flower.
So the total flower is
Given that is the total, the equation you would use is:

The constraints are as follows:y can only be 6
And if y=0, x would have to be -6 (which is impossible)

Answer:

The equation that can be used to find the value of y is:

[tex]y=x+6[/tex]

Also, the constraint on x is:

[tex]x\geq 0[/tex]

and the constraint on y is:

[tex]y\geq 6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Otto used 6 cups of whole wheat flour and x cups of white flour in the recipe.

If y denotes the total amount of flour that Otto used in the recipe.

Then the value of y in terms of x is given by i.e. the equation is given by:

[tex]y=x+6[/tex]

Also, we know that x has to be non-negative.

( Since a amount of some recipe used can't be negative)

Hence, we have:

[tex]x\geq 0[/tex]

Also,

[tex]x+6\geq 6\\\\i.e.\\\\y\geq 6[/tex]
