This isn't mathematics but the answer is John Locke
The 3 lbs of candy is irrelevant, so we can discard that. All you need to do is divide 147 by 26, which is 5.65 pieces of candy. Each student will get 5 pieces, with a few left over.
Step-by-step explanation:
EF = 4x - 15
FG = 3x - 7
EG = EF + FG = 20
so,
4x - 15 + 3x - 7 = 20
7x - 22 = 20
7x = 42
x = 6
EF = 4×6 - 15 = 9
FG = 3×6 - 7 = 11
Answer:
x = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
6 - 2/9x = 8
Subtract 6 from each side
6-6 - 2/9x = 8-6
-2/9 x = 2
Multiply each side by -9/2 to isolate x
-9/2 * -2/9x = 2*-9/2
x = -9
