Henry bakes 84 bread rolls and fruit muffins. After giving away 18 rolls, there are \(\frac{5}{6}\) as many rolls as muffins left. How many rolls did Henry bake?

let x= bread rolls and y = fruit muffins X+Y=84 and X-18=(5/6)Y system of equations, substitute Y because we want X X-18=(5/6)(84-X) X-18=70-(5/6)X (11/6)X=88 X=48 rolls
