The equation we can use is
3 + 1/4c = 9
To find the total number of pieces, we would just solve the equation.
3 + 1/4c = 9
3 - 3 +1/4c = 9 - 3
1/4c = 6
inverse of division is multiputcation
4/1 *1/4c = 6*4
c = 24
There were 24 pieces of cake in total.
Answer:
(x-5)(x+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
hope it helps
<span>By similarity of triangles we have the following relationship:</span>
<span> (x) / (6) = (18) / (9)</span>
<span> Simplifying we have:</span>
<span> (x) / (6) = 2</span>
<span> Clearing the value of x we have:</span>
<span><span> x = 6 * 2</span></span>
<span><span> X = 12</span></span>
<span><span> Answer:</span></span>
<span><span> The value of x for this case is equal to:</span></span>
<span><span> <span>X = 12</span></span>
