Moises Huber · Answer 1

Part A

Assume that

y = ounces of meat

x = number of sandwich

So, the equation for how much meat he need for his sandwiches is

y = 3x

Part B.

We just need to substitute 18 to the equation (Replace y with 18)

y = 3x

18 = 3x

x = 6

From 18 ounces of meat, Isaac could make 6 sandwiches
