I believe the number is 406,152
Answer:
$3.03
Step-by-step explanation:
7x + $3.60 = $24.81
Subtract $3.60 from both sides of the equation:
7x + $3.60 - $3.60 = $24.81 - $3.60
7x = $24.81 - $3.60
7x = $21.21
Divide each side by 7:
(7x/7) = ($21.21/7)
x = ($21.21/7)
x = $3.03
Set up a proportion:
3/4/24 = 1/x
Cross multiply:
3/4x = 24
Divide 3/4 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 4/3:
x = 24 * 4/3
x = 96/3
x = 32
So you had a total of 32 muffins, now subtract this from the amount that blew away to find out how many you have left:
32 - 24 = 8
So you have 8 muffins left.
No solutions
Explanation: Any number you use, the equation of x + 7 will always be 2 more than x + 5
