Answer:
- x = 81 and 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
8 × 2 – 4x = 363
16 - 4x = 363
Subtract 16 from each side:
16 - 16 - 4x = 363 - 16
- 4x = 327
Divide each side by 4:
- 4x ÷ 4 = 327 ÷ 4
- x = 81 and 3/4
To do this problem you must find the GCF or the greatest common factor of 36 and 42. For example 36 can be made by 1 and 36 2 and 18 3 and 12 4 and 9 and 6 and 6. 42 can be made by 1 and 42 2 and 21 3 and 14 and 6 and 7. The highest common factor is 6. So, if you put 6 berries on all of the desserts, you will put 6 strawberries on 6 tarts and 6 blueberries on 7 tarts. That’s a total of 13 desserts
That is the answer. you can't simplify it.
