Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

first you would factor the -2(2x-1). -2x2x= -4x, -2x-1= 2

the equation would then be 5x-4x+2=6

Mariam’s uncle donate 120 cans of juice and 90 packs of cheese cracker for the school picnic. Each student must receive the same

monitta

Answer:

8 students,

15 cans of juice and 11 packs of cheese cracker

Step-by-step explanation:

Mariam’s uncle donate 120 cans of juice and 90 - 2 = 88 packs of cheese cracker (eats two packs) for the school picnic.

Factor these numbers:

$120=2\cdot 60=2\cdot 2\cdot 30=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot15=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 5\\ \\88=2\cdot 44=2\cdot 2\cdot 22=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 11$

The greatest common factor is

$2\cdot 2\cdot 2=8,$

so the greatest number of students who can share the food equally is 8 and each student will get $3\cdot 5=15$ cans of juice and 11 packs of cheese cracker.
