Answer:
26 servings
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of servings of vanilla ice cream be x.
Number of servings of chocolate ice cream
= x -12
(since it has 12 servings less than vanilla)
Total servings= servings of chocolate+ vanilla
x + x-12= 40
2x -12 =40 <em>(</em><em>simplify</em><em>)</em>
2x= 40 +12 <em>(</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>
2x= 52 <em>(</em><em>simplify</em><em>)</em>
x= 52 ÷2
x= 26
Therefore, there are 26 servings of vanilla ice cream in the freezer.
