She distributed the 4 to the 2x-1, giving her 9+ 8x -4. she subtracted 8x from both sides leaving her with 4=9-4 which is the same as 4=5
The closest to the maximum number of cups the punch bowl can hold is 30
<h3>How to determine the number of cups?</h3>
The given parameters are:
1 cup = 15 cubic inches
Diameter of bowl, d = 12 inches
The radius is the half of the diameter.
So, we have:
r = 6
The volume of the bowl is then calculated using:

This gives

Evaluate
V = 452.16
The maximum number of cups is then calculated using:
Cups = 452.16/15
Evaluate
Cups = 30.1444
Approximate
Cups = 30
Hence, the closest to the maximum number of cups the punch bowl can hold is 30

The first step to solving this is to remember our mathematical rules. They state that when the term has a coefficient of -1,, the number doesn't have to be written but the sign needs to remain. This will change the expression to the following:
x - v + 4 + 7y - 3
Now subtract the numbers 4 and 3 from each other.
x - v + 1 + 7y
Since this expression cannot be simplified any further,, the correct answer to your question would be x - v + 1 + 7y.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
