Answer:

<em>The total pieces of cake are 24</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear equations</u>

It's a relation between one or more variables and or numbers, connected with the equal sign. An example is 4x-5=7, or 2(x+y)=7-(x-y)

This problem can be easily solved without the use of equations, but we are required to.

We know Mindy and Troy combined ate 9 pieces of cake, we also know that Mindy ate 3 pieces of cake. It leaves 6 pieces to Troy. Since Troy ate 1/4 of the whole cake, then

\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}X=6

Where X is the number of pieces of cake

Solving for X

X=(4)(6)=24\ pieces

Nathan shares out 12 sweets he gives yasmin 1 sweet for 3 sweets he buys how many sweets does nathan get
Yuri [45]

Given that, Nathan shares out 12 sweets, if he gives Yasmin 1 sweet for 3 sweets he buys, Nathan will get 9 sweets.

<h3>How many sweets does Nathan gets?</h3>

Given that, Nathan shares out 12 sweets, he gives Yasmin 1 sweet for 3 sweets he buys.

Let the sweet be represented by x

For each x sweet for Yasmin, Nathan gets 3x sweets

Hence

x + 3x = 12

We solve for x

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3

Hence;

Yasmin gets x sweet = 3

Nathan gets 3x sweets = 3 × 3 = 9

Given that, Nathan shares out 12 sweets, if he gives Yasmin 1 sweet for 3 sweets he buys, Nathan will get 9 sweets.
