So you would multiply if it has the word of in the problem right?
I believe it is negative 2/2, hope this helps you out.
2.5 2 cup servings of flour are used. For every serving of flour, there are 2/3 cups of sugar. So, we need to use 2.5 servings of sugar, too. (2/3)*2.5= 5/3, or 1.6666.... cups of sugar.
2(x+12x) = 2x + 24x
2x+24x - 2x2= 2x+24x - 4
2x + 24x = 26x
26x - 4 is your answer
I see the picture but its really bad so 5.-2
