You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = chocolate muffins
y = strawberry muffins
z = raisin muffins
---
x = z/2
y = 3x
x + y + z = 480
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
2x - z = 0
3x - y = 0
x + y + z = 480
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
