No, actually the method is not correct. Adiya needed to take x2 and subtract it from 20x. she would then get 6 = 18x. Have in mind also that she needed to divide 18. So 6 = 18x turns into 6=X. That is why is incorrect
Answer:
He should buy 4 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
25 divided by 8 is 3.125, but you want to have enough so the least amount you can buy is 4.
X=Amount of skittles at the start.
Nasir ate 10 skittles and Seif ate 6 skittles so the number of skittles they had(x) - how many they both ate equals : 2/3;
(x-10)/(x-6)=2/3
3(x-10)=2(x-6)
3x-30=2x-12
x-30=-12
x=18
They each started with 18 skilttles.
