The <em>correct answer</em> is:
Her number is 7.
Explanation:
Let x represent her number.
She triples her number; this is represented by 3x.
She then adds 5 to this; this gives us 3x+5.
She gets 26 aas her answer. This gives us the equation:
3x+5 = 26
To solve this, first subtract 5 from each side:
3x+5-5 = 26-5
3x = 21
Divide each side by 3:
3x/3 = 21/3
x = 7
Short answer: 375 grams
Remark
You only need to set up a direct proportion
Givens
flour for 12 cakes = 150 grams
Number of cakes initially = 12
Amount of flouer for 30 cakes = x
Number of cakes = 30
Proportion
amount flour for 12 cakes / 12 cakes = x / 30
Sub and solve
150 grams / 12 cakes = x / 30 cakes Cross multiply
150 * 30 = 12 *x Multiply the left side.
4500 = 12 x Divide both sides by 12
4500/12 = x
375 grams for 30 cakes. <<<<< Answer

Step-by-step explanation:
For example, if f(x) = 2x + 7
then f(-3) = 2(-3) + 7
f(-3) = 1
