    Answer: She sold 18 loaves of banana bread.

    To solve this problem, we are going to have to write 2 equations from the problems.

    First, the number of loaves of banana bread was 4 more than twice the number of zucchini loaves. B = 2Z + 4

    Second, altogether there was 25 loaves. B + Z = 25

    To solve, we can substitute the first equation into the second equation.

    (2Z + 4) + Z = 25

    3Z + 4 = 25

    3Z = 21

    Z = 7

    If there was 7 loaves of zucchini bread, then there must have been 18 loaves of banana bread to make 25 total loaves.
