Mike can make 3 batches of salsa and 3 batches of tomato sauce using all of his garden produce. Mike can make 6 batches of salsa and 3 batches of tomato sauce using all of his garden produce. Mike can make 6 batches of salsa and 9 batches of tomato sauce using all of his garden produce.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step We are given 21 pounds of tomatoes and 9 pounds of mixed peppers from Mike's garden. 

let x = the number of batches of salsa that can be made

y = number of batches of tomato sauce that can be made 

a = pounds of mixed peppers needed 

b = pounds of tomatoes needed

we need to set-up two equations that will represent x and y:

x = 9/a + 21/b

y = 9/a + 21/b 

these two equations can be used if we have the amount of mixed peppers and tomatoes needed to make salsa and tomato sauce.
