Answer:

x=1\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a recipe required flour=5\frac{1}{2}=\frac{11}{2}

Lorenzo has flour=3\frac{3}{4}=\frac{15}{4}

We have to find an equation to find the additional amount of flour Lorenzo needs to make the recipe.

Let x be the additional amount of flour  that is required to make the recipe

According to question

x+\frac{15}{4}=\frac{11}{2}

x=\frac{11}{2}-\frac{15}{4}

Using subtraction property of equality

x=\frac{22-15}{4}

x=\frac{7}{4}=1\frac{3}{4}

Hence, Lorenzo needs additional amount of flour to make recipe=1\frac{3}{4}

I'LL WON'T BE OFFEND IF U DON'T HELP ME WITH THIS
Evgesh-ka [11]

The average is found by adding the numbers and dividing by 2.

Since the average is 17, the total of the two numbers must equal 17 x 2 = 34.


One number is given as 11, so subtract 11 from 34:

34 - 11 = 23

The other number is 23.

Too check: add 11 and 23 and then divide by 2:

11 + 23 = 34

34/2 = 17.
