Answer 1

The recipe calls for 2 parts borax and 2 parts washing soda, which means Lenny needs the same amount of each. Since he uses 7 cups of soap flakes as well, he needs 7 cups of both borax and washing soda. Therefore, the total amount of borax and washing soda combined that he needs is 7 cups + 7 cups = 14 cups.
