Answer:
5 represent calories from other ingredients
c= 5 1/2 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Total calories=c grams of carbohydrates + other ingredients
Total calories in granola bite=27
The equation 4c + 5 = 27 represents the relationship between these quantities
1. 5 represent calories from other ingredients
2. Priya said that neither 8 nor 3 could be the solution to the equation
4c + 5 = 27
When the solution is 8
4(8)+5=27
32+5=27
37 =27
Solution 8 gives a higher calories than total calories
When solution is 3
4(3)+5=27
12+5=27
17=27
Solution 3 gives a lower calories than total calories
3. Solution to the equation
4c + 5 = 27
Subtract 5 from both sides
4c+5-5=27-5
4c=22
Divide both sides by 4
c=22/4
=5 2/4
=5 1/2
c= 5 1/2 grams
