I used mental math and it took a long time, but I got the answer of 2,499.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x - 7
So we know that there are 8 slices per large pizza (7), so a total of 56 slices
we would set up a proportion
5/8=x/56
8 times 7 gives you 56, and we would do that same thing to the 5 (multiply it by 7) to get 35?
so now we know that 35 out of 56 slices were eaten
56-35 is 21
so there are 21 slices left over
The answer would probably be 18 degrees below normal because the absolute values of the rest are 8 not 18 which is the absolute value of 18 degrees below normal.
