Question

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?

Answer 1

6+x= y (Since you're asking for the total amount, you're just adding the number of cups 6 and x while y is your total.

The constraints for x is x<-6 and the constraints for y is y<0 since you can't have a negative amount of cups.
