1/3+1/4 = 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12
Given

To find a solution for the linear equation, the first step is to write the equation in slope-intercept form:
-Pass the x-term to the right side of the equation by applying the opposite operation to both sides of the equal sign:

-Divide both sides by -2:

Once you have expressed the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, replace it with any value for x and calculate the corresponding value of y, for example, x=2

One solution for the linear equation is x=2 and y=-6, you can check the solution by replacing the values on the original equation, with both values the result should be 8:

As you can see the values are a valid solution for the linear equation.
So the solution is:
Answer: 4.12032 which is also equivalent to 4:12
Hi! I'm happy to help!
To solve this, we have to divide the 18 pounds, in 1/8 portions. We do this with division. To make this problem easier to solve, we need to turn it into a multiplication problem (opposite of division). To still make the problem correct, we have to take the opposite of one of our numbers. Let's take 1/8, and turn it into 8, now we have the problem:
18×8=
Now all we have to do is multiply:
18×8=
144
He can make 144 croissants!
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
