First, let's put all of the variables together.
4m + 5m + 5 + 40 = 180.
Add them.
M is the same multiplier, so we can add 4 and 5 together to make 9m.
Add 5 and 40.
9m + 45 = 180.
From here, we can go two ways. I will show the first way, which is my personal preference.
We want to get rid of the coefficient on m to isolate it, so we must divide it by its coefficient. The coefficient on m is 9. So, divide m by 9. We must also divide everything else by 9.
9m/9 = 1m
45/9 = 5
180/9 = 20
Plug it in--
m + 5 = 20.
Subtract the 5 from both sides to isolate m.
m = 15.
Answer: c
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Using 5.25 cups of flour would make 3 batches of cookies. He made 180 cookies.
Step-by-step explanation:
To see how many batches you make all you do is take the 5.25 and divide it by 1.75 because thats how much it takes to make 1. When you divide it you get 3. If there are 5 dozen in each batch thats 60 cookies because 1 dozen is 12. Then,since he made 3 batches you multiply the 60 by 3 and you get 180.
Hope this helps!
