Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
First you should write out the entire word equation into one you may recongnize:
7x - 12 = -3x - 32
After this, solve for x:
7x + 3x = 12 - 32
<u>10x</u> = <u>-20</u>
10 10
x = -2
the number is -2
1 1/2 divided by 6 is 1/4, so 1/4 of a cup of flour for each serving.
12 is the common denominator between 3/4 and 1/3,so 9/12 and 4/12,add them and you get 13/12,take 12 away from the top number and you get 1 1/12, so 1 1/12 is answer for 2
remember,1 serving is 1/4 of a cu of flour, and 9 is only 3 more than 6,so you just add in 3/4 to the flour, and that yould make it 2 1/4 cups of flour.
i hope this helps
