Number of Baby bottles (B)=5 x number of formula scoops (F), or B=5(F)

2 bottles each day in addition, you use 4 bottles during every feeding. Number of bottles is (B) is 2+4X number of feedings, or B=2+4F



B=5(F)
B=2+4F


I created this system of linear equations. Does my 2 equations at the end represent the same variables on both for the same thing?

Did I write the linear equations properly?

This information seems to say that symbol F represents some number of scoops.


Number of bottles is (B) is 2+4X number of feedings, or B=2+4F

This information seems to say that symbol F represents some number of feedings.

Symbol F cannot represent two different things.


Did I write the linear equations properly?

I can't tell.

:idea: Please post the entire exercise, word-for-word, as it was given to you.
