Give each sister one sandwich then you can cut the extra 2 sandwiches into 3 pieces so they each get a even amount of 2/3 or two thirds.
Hope this helps

I drew it pictorially but think of it as 5 sandwiches divided by 3 sisters. Therefore it’s 5/3

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{(2x+8)(x-3)=2x^2+2x-24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Use FOIL:}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\(2x+8)(x-3)=(2x)(x)+(2x)(-3)+(8)(x)+(8)(-3)\\\\=2x^2-6x+8x-24\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=2x^2+(-6x+8x)-24\\\\=2x^2+2x-24$
