<span> Nina + her 5 friends = 6 people
Then she has 9 apple to share with her and her friends.
Let’s calculate how many apple will each people get when they equally divide it
with each other:
=> 9 – 6 = 3
Thus already have 1 apple each, now, let’s divide the remaining 3 apples
=> 3 / 6 = .5
So they have half of apple each. Let’s add
=> 1 + .5 = 1.5
Each person will get 1.5 apple.
=> 1.5 * 6 = 9</span>
Expand the brackets. Collect like terms. Get the same values on each side so it’s easier to isolate a. Divide 9 from 9a so that u get a by itself and this gives u the answer if 36/9 or 4.
