Answer:
160
Step-by-step explanation:
13² - 3² = 13 × 13 - 3 × 3 = 169 - 9 = 160
Hey there!
To solve this problem, you first would need to solve for how much of the cake is left after Jasmine, her friend, and Jasmine's brother got their slices. Then, you would need to split the remaining amount in half to get the answer of what each parent ate. We would need to make all of the denominators the same, so let's make all of the fractions out of 12, a common denominator of 3 and 4.



It can then be concluded that each parent ate

of the cake, since there was

remaining.
You can check this answer by adding up all of the parts we used in this problem:

Hope this helped you out! :-)

If Ali has x cards, then Belinda has 2x cards.
If Ali has x cards, then Charlie has x+5 cards.
2x (Belinda) + x+5 (Charlie) + x (Ali) = 33 (total)
2x + x+5 + x = 33
Now simplify the equation... x+x+5 can be simplified as 2x+5.
2x+5 plus 2x can become 4x+5.
So their total number is 4x+5.
So 4x+5=33.
You want to isolate the variables and numbers.
To remove the 5 from the left side, subtract 5 from both sides.
4x+5-5=4x - 33-5=28
So the equation now is 4x=28
To remove the 4, divide each side by 4.
4x÷4=x - 28÷4=7
So x equals 7, Ali has 7 cards.
