Answer:
division.
Step-by-step explanation:
this property states that when you divide both sides of an equation by the same number, the two sides remain equal.
so in your equation, when you divide by 6, you know that y = 8.
Answer:
206 Cornish hens
169 turkeys
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of Cornish hens sold. Then c-37 is the number of turkeys sold. The total sales would be ...
... c + (c-37) = 375
... 2c = 412 . . . . collect terms, add 37
... c = 206 . . . . Cornish hens sold
... (c-37) = 169 . . . turkeys sold

<em>Comment on this type of problem</em>
Note that the solution to this problem is that the larger number (number of cornish hens) is half the sum of the total and the difference: (375+37)/2 = 206. This is the general solution for this type of "sum and difference" problem.
The larger contributor is half the total plus half the difference; the smaller contributor is half the total minus half the difference.
Cornish hens = (1/2)(375 +37) = 206
Turkeys = (1/2)(375 -37) = 169
