constraint 1
 let
 x = number of cups of chocolate
 y = number of cups of vanilla
 The equation that represents the total number of ice cream is:
 x + y = 24
 constraint 2
 the ratio of the number of chocolate cups to vanilla cups is
 y = (1/2) x
 Using equations 1 and 2, you can find the number of cups of each favor required.
 answer:
 x + y = 24
 y = (1/2) x
