Question

question 4
amal is preparing cookie dough. each gram of flour adds 5 grams to the total dough mass, and each gram of sugar adds 3 grams. if amals total dough weighs 780 grams, write an equation in standard form that represents this situation, where x is the grams of flour used and y is the grams of sugar used.
fill each blank with an integer.
□ x + □ y = □

Explanation:

Step1: Define flour's mass contribution

Each gram of flour adds 5g, so total from flour is $5x$.

Step2: Define sugar's mass contribution

Each gram of sugar adds 3g, so total from sugar is $3y$.

Step3: Set sum equal to total mass

Total dough mass is 780g, so $5x + 3y = 780$.

Answer:

$5x + 3y = 780$
