I think that the 4 sisters get 3 pieces each of the muffins because if you cut it in four pieces it gives one piece to each one of the four sisters and you keep doing it with the other two left muffins.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
so you want to start by using y=mx+b
step one: find the slope (remember m is the slope in this)
m= 
m= 
m= 
m= - 
step two: insert the value we found for m into the equation and take one of the given points and insert the x and y into the equation (im using (0,5)) and solve for b.
y=mx+b
5= -4/3(0)+b
5=b
step three: rewrite y=mx+b with the values we found for m and for b
Answer:
A) 4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to get this but this is how I did it:
1. Multiply the second equation by 1/4 to get the same fraction for y as the one in the first equation
1/4 x + 1/8 y = 2
1/4 (1/3 x + 1/2 y = 4)
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
2. Subtract the first equation from the new equation
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
<u> - 1/4 x - 1/8 y = -2</u>
-1/6 x= -1
3. Divide both sides by -1/6
<u>-1/6</u> x= <u>-1</u>
-1/6 -1/6
x = 6
4. Substitute 4 in for x in the original equation:
1/4 (6) + 1/8y = 2
6/4 + 1/8y = 2
1/8y = 1/2
y = 4
49 = -7 (t + 1)
49 = -7t + 7
-7 -7
42 = -7t
÷ -7 ÷ -7
-6 = t
t = -7
