Mitch is buying candy bars for his friends. He wants to give 2 bars to each friend, and he wants to have 10 spare bars. He can a
fford to buy 28 candy bars. What is the algebraic sentence that will help him figure out how many friends he can treat? Let f= the number of friends, and the options I have are (A) 2f+10=28 (B) 2f-10=28 (C) 1/2f+10=28 (D) 1/2f-10=28
which would take away the 10 and subtract 10 from 28. (That would be Jack's bars.)
2f = 28.
Step 2: Divide by 2 on both sides.
2f = 28
which would cancel out the 2f. And Whatever is done to the left is done to the right, meaning you would divide 28 by 2 aswell. (Dividing up the candy bars among his friends).
