There was 10 friends because there if you times 2/3 by 6 you get 12/18 and 10 people eat it then there is 3/18 left and after you simpfly it you get 1/6
98 Cm should be the answer
Let's say you have the equation
5x + 3y = 11
You are asked to test the ordered pair (1, 2) to see if it is a solution of the equation. A solution of the equation will make the equation a true statement. The ordered pair (1, 2) has 1 as its x-coordinate and 2 as its y-coordinate.
Substitute 1 for x and 2 for y in the equation. Then work it out to see if it is a true statement.
5x + 3y = 11
5(1) + 3(2) = 11
5 + 6 = 11
11 = 11
Since 11 = 11 is a true statement, the ordered pair (1, 3) is a solution of the equation.
The line segment HI has length 3<em>x</em> - 5, and IJ has length <em>x</em> - 1.
We're told that HJ has length 7<em>x</em> - 27.
The segment HJ is made up by connecting the segments HI and IJ, so the length of HJ is equal to the sum of the lengths of HI and IJ.
This means we have
7<em>x</em> - 27 = (3<em>x</em> - 5) + (<em>x</em> - 1)
Solve for <em>x</em> :
7<em>x</em> - 27 = (3<em>x</em> + <em>x</em>) + (-5 - 1)
7<em>x</em> - 27 = 4<em>x</em> - 6
7<em>x</em> - 4<em>x</em> = 27 - 6
3<em>x</em> = 21
<em>x</em> = 21/3
<em>x</em> = 7
