    23x + 18y = 1446

    x + y = 72

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The bakery made $1446 total. We represent this as the cost of each cake ($23) times the number of cakes sold (x) plus the cost of each dozen cupcakes ($18) times the number of cupcakes sold (y).

    Thus, 23x + 18y = $1446.

    The bakery sold 72 items total. We represent this as the number of cakes sold (x) plus the number of each dozen cupcakes sold (y).

    Thus, x + y = 72.
