If they are congruent then they are equal
7x-40=4x+32
7x-4x=32+40
3x=72
x=24
Answer:
24 cups of green you'll need.
Step-by-step explanation:
π is defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to it's diameter, which is why it almost seems odd that the number itself is a so-called <em>irrational number</em>, one which can't be written as a fraction, no matter what you pick for the numerator and denominator.
Set them equal to each other because they are parallel
3x+7=5x-17
Subtract 3x from both sides
7=2x-17
Add 17 on both sides
24=2x
Divide by 2 on both sides
12=x
Austin would have 6 jelly beans and Alex would have 18 because if Alex were to have three times as many jellybeans as Austin that means Austin will have one times and Alex would have three times which equals four so you would have to divide 4÷24 which gives them six for each group
