X=lottie's aples

give 1/4 of them to fred
origianly had 4/4, but gave 1/4 away so now has (3/4)x
eats 5 of them
(3/4)x-5
now she has 7 more than fred (fred has (1/4)x

so

(3/4)x-5 is 7 more than (1/4)x
(3/4)x-5=7+(1/4)x
add 5 to both sides
(3/4)x=12+(1/4)x
minus (1/4)x from both sides
(2/4)x=12
(1/2)x=12
times 2/1 both sides
2/2x=24
x=24

she had 24 to begin with

20 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST
emmainna [20.7K]
To solve this equation we must first plug in 5 for x.

\frac{1}{3}<span> (5 - 4x)
               </span>↓ 
\frac{1}{3} (5 - 4 · 5)

The next step would be to multiply 4 by 5 to get rid of the parenthesis within our main parenthesis.

\frac{1}{3} (5 - 4 · 5)

\frac{1}{3} (5 - 20)

The next step would be to subtract both of the numbers within the parenthesis.

\frac{1}{3} (-15)

Now we must multiply.

- \frac{1}{3} · 15 =  - \frac{1×15}{3}

- \frac{15}{3}

Now we simplify our answer to get our final answer.
