Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = number of pieces of chocolate bought by Amin.
Let b = number of pieces of chocolate bought by Bob.
b = 2a
(a - 3)(b - 3) = 14
ab - 3a - 3b + 9 = 14
a(2a) - 3a - 3(2a) = 5
2a^2 - 3a - 6a = 5
2a^2 - 9a - 5 = 0
(2a + 1)(a - 5) = 0
2a + 1 = 0 or a - 5 = 0
a = -1/2 or a = 5
Amin cannot have bought -1/2 pieces of chocolate, so we discard the soluion a = -1/2.
a = 5

Answer: x=4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
15-20x=x+3
15-20x-15=x+3-15
-20=x-12
-20x-x=x-12-x
-21x=-12
-21x/-21=-12/-21
x=4/7
Answer:
26.3 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
36% = 36/100 = 0.36
73 * 0.36 = 26.28 grams ≈ 26.3 grams
3. X= y-3
You subtract 3 to the other side to make X the subject of the formula.
