326=12m+6c+x The reason your x does not have a number is because it is unknown so in order to solve for x you need to get rid of the 12m+6c so in order to that you can divide it on both sides so you would get 326/12m+6c=x the divide your numbers 18.1=x but you cant have a tenth of a djembe drum so you would have to round up to 19.
81 servings. I found this by making a ratio:
24 c 108 c
------- = -------
18 ser x
I then cross multiplied to get the equation: 24x=1,944. I solved this equation to find x, the number of servings in 108 cups, which was 81.
I remember doing this back in elementary school. I had a hard time with it too!
28 is the LCM of 4 and 7 as 4*7 = 28
One thing to bear in mind with trigonometric expressions is that, the exponent location is next to the function name, instead of the whole expression, though it applies to the whole thing, namely cos²(x), is really [ cos(x) ]², and that matters for using the chain rule.
