Just plug in the numbers into the equation.
m = 4a + 2c
a = adults
c = children
m = meatballs
The information given says there are 25 adults and 5 children. So now:
a = 25
and
c = 5
in the equation m = 4a + 2c
Now plug in the values.
m = 4(25) + 2(5)
m = 100 + 10
m = 110
This means that 110 meatballs are required for 25 adults and 5 children.
800 is 10 times as much as 80
X = 5 -
-7x - 3x + 2 = -8x - 8
+ 7x +7x
-3x + 2 = -x - 8
+3x +3x
2 = 2x -8
+8 +8
10 = 2x
/2 /2
x = 5
