3x + 3 = -2x - 2

combine like terms

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

-3x -3x

3 = -5x - 2

+2 +2

5 = -5x

Answer:

$4\dfrac{3}{8}$ cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

A muffin recipe, which yields 12 muffins, calls for 2/3 cup of milk for every 1 3/4 cups of flour.

Then this recipe, which yields one muffin, calls for

$\dfrac{2}{3}:12=\dfrac{2}{3}\cdot \dfrac{1}{12}=\dfrac{1}{18}$

cup of milk for every

$1\dfrac{3}{4}:12=\dfrac{7}{4}\cdot \dfrac{1}{12}=\dfrac{7}{48}$

cups of flour.

Thus,

this recipe, which yields a batch of 30 muffins, calls for

$\dfrac{1}{18}\cdot 30=\dfrac{5}{3}=1\dfrac{2}{3}$

cups of milk for every

$\dfrac{7}{48}\cdot 30=\dfrac{210}{48}=\dfrac{35}{8}=4\dfrac{3}{8}$

cups of flour.
