Hi!
Theoretically we know that there needs to be a total of 34 muffins so that each student gets two.
So 34-5(already baked) gives us 29
X has to be 29
Algebraically you would solve it like this (x+5)/17= 2
the numerator equals to the 34 and you divide by the 17 to get the two muffins per student.
I hope this helped!
The answer (usually called the 'solution') is the one and only number that 'n' can be if that equation is a true statement. Here's a suggestion of a procedure you can use to find it:
<u>1.8 + 7n = 9.5 - 4n</u>
Add 4n to each side: 1.8 + 11n = 9.5
Subtract 1.8 from each side: 11n = 7.7
Divide each side by 11 : <em> n = 0.7</em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given points:</u>
<u>Midpoint by using midpoint formula:</u>
- x = (-6 + 1)/2 = -3.5
- y = (-1 + 2)/2 = 0.5
- M(-3.5, 0.5)
