rational · Answer

are we finding number of blueberries and cups ?

pooja195 · Answer

B(blueberries) = 9(C - 2) C=cups
  B(blueberries) = 6C + 3 c= cups
C = 7, B = 45.
There are 7 cups and 45 blueberries  this is messy ;-;

finding the leftover of berries

jagr2713 · Answer

Easier way:

The number of blueberries is equal to number of cups multiplied by 4 minus one left.
That is :
      B = 9(C - 2) -> (1)
Then the number of blueberries will be equal to the number of cups times three plus one left.
That is :
      B = 6C + 3 -> (2)
Now substitute the 1st and 2nd equations:
      B = 9(C - 2)
      B = 6C + 3
      C = 7, B = 45.
Therefore Blueberries = 45 and cups = 7.
