Answer:

Mo is sharing the sweets between 5 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

An important thing to note is that whichever way Mo shares the sweets, the total number of sweets he has does not change. It means that if he chooses the first method to share the sweets, or the second method, he still has the same number of sweets. This will be helpful in setting up an equation that will help us solve the problem.

If he chooses the first way to share the sweets:

7x + 2 = total number of sweets available.

<em>This is because each of his friends gets 7 sweets each, with 2 leftovers. If we add them up, it will give the total number of sweets available to be shared.</em>

<em />

If he chooses the second way to share the sweets:

6x + 7 = total number of sweets available.

<em>This is because each of his friends gets 6 sweets each, with 7 leftovers. If we add them up, it will give the total number of sweets available to be shared.</em>

<em />

because the total number of sweets do not change, we have

7x +2 = 6x +7

Grouping like terms,

7x - 6x = 7 - 2

x = 5.

Therefore, Mo is sharing the sweets between 5 friends

Answers:
Reason 3: Definition of Parallelogram
Reason 4: Alternate Interior Angles Theorem
Reason 5: Reflexive Property of Congruence
Reason 6: ASA Congruence Property

------------------------------------------------------

Explanations:

Explanation for Reason 3: A parallelogram, by definition, has opposite sides that are parallel. It's built into the name more or less. Sides AB and CD are opposite one another in the parallelogram so they are parallel segments

Explanation for Reason 4: Angle ABD is congruent to angle CDB because they are alternate interior angles. They are on the inside of the "train tracks" that are formed by AB and CD. They lay on opposite sides of the transversal BD

Explanation for Reason 5: Any segment is congruent to itself; ie, the same length

Explanation for Reason 6: Using reasons 2,5 and 4, we can use ASA (angle side angle) to prove the two triangles ABD and CDB congruent. Reason 2 is the first "A" in ASA. Reason 5 is the S in ASA. Reason 4 is the other A in ASA. The side is between the two pairs of angles. See the attache image for a visual summary of how ASA is being used.
