Answer:
9 tablespoons of hot sauce
27 tablespoons of ketchup
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Jen uses 3x as many tablespoons of ketchup as to hot sauce. We know she is making 36 tablespoons dipping sauce total.
SO, we make the equation x + 3x = 36
we group like terms and have 4x = 36
we need to divide both side by 4 and get 9
this means that we use a total of 9 tablespoons of hot sauce and 27 tablespoons of ketchup.
