Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
she ate 25% so she is left with 75%
you want to find that 25% so you do 75÷25=3
42÷3=14
25×4=100
14×4=56
she had 56 pretzels
Original Equation: 4x - 2(x+1) = 3x + 10
Step 1: Use Distributive Property
4x - 2x - 2 = 3x + 10
Step 2: Combine Like Terms
2x - 2 = 3x + 10
Step 3: Solve
2x - 2 = 3x + 10
- 2x -2x
--------------------------------
-2 = x + 10
-10 -10
------------------------
-12 = x
5x-3=21-x
6x=24
X=4
You simply have to isolate the variable and then divide by 6 so that x is completely alone.
