Answer:

Sam initially made 45 bread rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = total number of bread rolls made by Sam. He gives 2/5 of the bread to his neighbor. This means he gave 2/5 × x =

2x/5 bread rolls to his neighbor.

The remainder would be x - 2x/5 =3x/5

He gave 4/9 of the remainder to his cousin = 4/9 ×3x/5=12x/45

=4x/15

He has 15 bread rolls left

Total number of bread rolls = what he has left + what he gave his cousin + what he gave his neighbor

x = 15 + 4x/15 + 2x/5

Taking LCM of 15 and cross multiplying

15x= 225+4x + 6x

15x = 225 +10x

15x-10x = 225

5x = 225

x = 225/5 =45

Sam initially made 45 bread rolls

solving a linear equation we conclude that the value of x must be 6.

<h3>How to find the value of x?</h3>

On the statement we have the relations:

AB = BC

BC = CD

For the transitive property, then we have that:

AB = CD

Replacing the equations in the image, we get:

2x + 1 = 4x - 11

Solving this linear equation for x we get:

1 + 11 = 4x - 2x

12 = 2x

12/2 = x

6 = x

So yes, solving that linear equation we conclude that the value of x must be 6.
