1. 3/4
2. 4/3
HOPE THAT HELPS!!
(6x + 4) = (4x + 6)
-4 -4
6x = 4x + 2
-4x -4x
6x = 2
/6 /6
x = 1/3
The answer is 15.
S - small jar
M - medium jar
L - large jar
In all Amanda has 22 jars: S + M + L = 22
She has three time as many small jars as large: S = 3L
She has three fewer mediums than large: M = L -3
Now, we can use the method of substitution:
S = 3L
M = L - 3
_______________
S + M + L = 22
3L + L - 3 + L = 22
3L + L + L = 22 + 3
5L = 25
L = 25 ÷ 5 = 5
Since S = 3L, then:
S = 3 · 5 = 15
Amanda has 15 small jars.
