Answer: X = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Crossmultiply
X=31, the other post justifies, I just wanted to make it more accessible for if someone just needs the answer :)
The expression re-written: 3(2) - 4(3)
First, we multiply (PEMDAS)
3 * 2 = 6
4 * 3 = 12
6 - 12 = -6
Answer: - 6
Theophilus had a bag of toffees that he wanted share with all of his best friends.
Because Theophilus had a huge number of best friends, and because he was
concerned for their dental dental health, he began by cutting each toffee into
smaller pieces before passing them out.
He began with 6 toffees in the bag. Each toffee was 3-inches long, and he cut
each piece into 1-inch pieces.
To how many friends was he then ready to hand a chunk of toffee ?
