Answer:

Let the x = # of pies Larry ate

Jesse ate 2x-5 pies

Total = 16

Your equation is:

3x-5=16

3x=21

x = 7

balu736 [363]

Answer:

Let's add the total skittles to get our outcome:

25 in total.

5(red skittles)/25(total skittles in all)

7(yellow skittles)/24(total skittles in all NOW since you took a red skittle)

So therefore your expression is:

5/25 x 7/24
