Answer:
7 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 3 brothers
First , Second, Third
Let the total number cookies be represented by A
1 cookie = 1
Working backwards, we start from the third brother
If we work backwards
It means he gave everything away
We start from the youngest
He was given 1/2 of what was left and 1/2 a cookie
This means,
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
The second brother
He got half of what is left and 1/2 a cookies
Half of what is left from brother
= What the youngest brother got + 1/2 + 1/2 a cookie
= 1 + 1/2 + 1/2
= 1.5 + 1/2
= 2 cookies
For the first brother
He got 1/2 of the cookies + 1/2 cookie
= 1.5 × 2 + 1/2 + 1/2 cookies
= 3 1/2 + 1/2
= 4 cookies
The first brother got 4 cookies
The second brother got 2 cookies
The third broth got 1 cookies
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
543 divided by 15=36.2
rounded down to 36
Let X be chickens
Let Y be pigs,
then x+y=13
the animals have 2x+4y legs,
so 2x+4y=40
The system of the equations
[X+y=13
[2x+4y=40
Divide the second equation by 2
[x+y=13
[x+2y=20
subtract the first equation from the second one
y=20-13
y-7 pigs
substitute y=7 into the first equation
x+7=13
x=13-7
x=6 chickens

Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
kx = m + nx ( subtract nx from both sides )
kx - nx = m ← factor out x from each term on the left side
x(k - n) = m ← divide both sides by (k - n)
x =
