Distribute the 4.
8 + 12c = 56
Subtract 8.
12c = 48
c = 4
A.) 2w-3=h b.) A=(2w-3)^2
If he eats 6 loaves in 8 days, that means he ate 0.75 of a loaf each day. (6 divided by 8 = 0.75)
In a 12 day trip,
# divided by 12 = 0.75;
so to undo division, you multiply.
12 x 0.75 = #
# = 9. So 9 loaves for 12 days.
6x plus 3x plus 4 minus 2
