Subtraction is finding the difference between two numbers whereas division is putting numbers into equal pairs or undoing multiplication ( if that helps ) So... If they say divide 6 by 2 they mean put six into equal pairs of 2 which would equal 3 E.g.:- ( there are 3 pairs of six cars in twos ) You can't use subtraction because that will just find the number difference of 6 and 2 which is 4 Hope that wasn't complicated

granola bite contains 27 calories. Most of the calories come from grams of carbohydrates. The rest come from other ingredients.
azamat

Answer:

5 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The calories contained are from grams of carbohydrates and other ingredients

One gram of carbohydrate contains 4 calories

The equation 4c + 5 = 27 represents the relationship between these quantities.

1. 5 from the equation represent calories from other ingredients

2. Neither 8 nor 3 is the solution to the equation

4c + 5 = 27

When 8 is the solution

4(8)+5=27

32+5=27

37=27

When 3 is the solution

4(3)+5=27

12+5=27

17=27

Neither 8 nor 3 is the solution to the equation because 8 gives a higher calories in the granola bite and 3 gives a lower calories in the granola bite.

3. Solution to the equation

4c + 5 = 27

4c= 27-5

4c = 22

Divide both sides by 4

c=22/4

=5 2/4

=5 1/2

The solution to the equation is 5 1/2
