You have to divide the 14 pieces amongst 4 friends: 14/4. This can be simplified into a fraction. Since both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 2, you can simplify the fraction to 7/2 and make it into a mixed number 3 1/2, or decimal form 3.5. Each friend got three and a half pieces of banana bread.
Yes, the decimal form of
is indeed a repeating decimal. The expression is equivalent to
, which is also 1.3333333 or "1.3 bar", signifying that the 3 will repeat infinitely.
For this we would first simplify using order of operations.
6(-3-x) - 2x = 14 ------> Distribute
-18 -6x - 2x = 14 ------> Combine Like Terms
-8x - 18 = 14 Now we want to isolate x!
-8x - 18 = 14 ------> Add 18 to both sides.
-8x = 32 ------> Divide both sides by -8.
x = -4
