<span>Number of bowls left after 1 hour =
x - x/3 - 1/3 = 2x/3 - 1/3
</span><span> Number of bowls left after 2 hours = (2x/3 - 1/3) -
(2x/3 - 1/3)/2 - 1/2
= 2x/6 - 1/6 - 1/2
= 2x/6 - 4/6
= x/3 - 2/3
keep doing this untill u reach 0 bowls left
and then u'll get ur answer

Answer:
You can take this equation into two approaches.
#1 subtracting 4x from both sides:
-3x+10=4x-20 (subtract 4x from each side)
-7x+10=-20 (then subtract 10 from each side)
-7x=-30 (then divide by -7 to get x by itself)
x=30/7
#2 Add 3x to both sides:
-3x+10=4x-20 (Add 3x to both sides)
10=7x-20 (then add 20 to each side)
30=7x (divide both sides by 7)
30/7=x
Either way you do it you will get x=30/7 as your answer.
Hope this helps ;)
Answer is 4 - x^2 = -16 so the answer is -8 for x.
