Answer:
i dont know how your teacher teaches it but in the first question take away the y after the 25. number 2 the start equation would be 55=2x+25 then you would subtract 25 from each side to get 30=2x, the divide by to to get x=15 or she made 15 calls. number 3 is correct.
i hope this helps
Hi!
We are given the information found in the picture below.
Note: The directions aren't correct, but the triangle works for this problem.
The "direct path" is the hypotenuse of this triangle.
To find this, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, where 
and 
are 2 legs of the triangle, and 
is the hypotenuse, aka the longest side of any triangle:
We know and and want
Therefore, is approximately 
So if m=4a+2c is your equation then all you have to do is plug in the numbers.
So you then get m=4(25)+2(7), for 25 adults and 7 children.
Then you solve. m=100+2(7)
m=100+14
m=114
So Frank will need 114 Meatballs for the party of 25 adults and 7 children
Hope this helps! And if you need anything else just ask :)
