Brewing beer and the determining how to increase ABV involves understanding a little chemistry. Beer is produced with 5 basic ingredients grains, yeast, hops, and water. Grsains contain sugar which ferment into alchol and carbon dioxide. The system of equation that results is:

6x=2z+w

12x+2y=6z

6x+y=z+2w

Where x is the number of sugar molecules, y is the number of molecules, z is the number of ethanol molecules and w is the number of dioxide molecules. If 8 molecures of sugar are used the determine the number of ethanol and carbon dioxide moleucles that would be the result

_______ ethanol molecules, __________ carbon dioxide molecules
