Step-by-step explanation:
Since each cookie has 9 grams of fat, four cookies would contain 4*9 = 36 grams of fat.
Also nine cookies has 7*9 = 63 grams of fat.
So the number of grams consumed will be at least 36 and no more than 63.
the idea of showing that multiplying by 1 is true because as long as A and B follow the same ratio pattern (ie. 1n:2n is the same as 2n:4n) the statement will always be true
B. adding 40 to both sides of the equation
x^2 - 40 = 0
x^2 = 40
x = ± √40
