Where the heck did x come from!
5(4)+5x=60
x=8
x= number of pies the club made
Find the GCF of both numerator and denominator and then divide both the denominator and numerator by that and you will get the simplified fraction.
We need to FOIL that out and then get it into standard form to see what our A, B, and C are. FOILing gives us

. If we move the 7 over by subtraction and set it equal to 0, we have

. In order to avoid a negative leading coefficient, we can change all the signs to get

so A = 1, B = 0, C = -18, first choice above.
