Each class receives the same amount of pizza because the unit rates are the same
12(3-2x) = 84
do distributive multiplication:
12(3) + 12(-2x) = 84
36 - 24x = 84
Deduct 36 to both sides
36 - 36 - 24x = 84 - 36
-24x = 48
divide -24 to both sides
-24x / -24 = 48/-24
x = -2
To check:
12(3-2x) = 84
12(3-2(-2) = 84
12(3+4) = 84
12(7) = 84
84 = 84
We know is a horizontal line, so, if it passes through 1,-5, it also passes through "whatever", -5, like 20, -5 or 1000000, -5, or -100000000, -5 and so on.
so, let's pick another point say -7, -5, check the picture below, and let's check about the equation that runs through it,
(4)x5 is the same as (4)5 or 4 x 5
it equals 20
Answer:
c = 
Step-by-step explanation:
To eliminate the fractions, multiply all terms by the lowest common multiple of 8 and 5
The lowest common multiple of 8 and 5 is 40
5 + 40c = 32 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
40c = 27 ( divide both sides by 40 )
c =
