Answer:

x = 32

y = -20 and

z = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Cupcakes = X

Brownies = Y

Pies = Z

Ethan = 2x+2y+z = 20

Caleb = 4x+4y+z = 44

Jayden = 5x+6y = 40

-1(2x+2y+z=20) =

(-2x - 2y - z = -40) + (4x+4y+z=44)

= 5x + 6y = 40

-3(2x+2y=24 =

(-6 - 6y = -72) + (5x + 6y = 40)

= - x = - 32

= x = 32

5 (32) + 6y = 40

= 160 + 6y = 40

6y = 40 - 160

y = 120/6

y = - 20

2(32) + 2(-20) + z = 20

64 - 40 + z = 20

z = 20 - 24

z = -4
