Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Sample size 
Amount used 
Generally the equation for sugar lift
is given as is mathematically given by



3 : 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30
4 : 4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36
7: 7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63
9: 9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72,81
Add all sides.
5x+2+3x+8+4x-1
Combine like terms
12x+9
Subtract nine to get it on the other side of the equal sign
12x= -9
Divide by twelve
x=-9/12
Simplify
x=-3/4
Plug in x.
