There's two ways, you can either multiply 11 and 7 to get 77 and then divide by 2, OR, you can divide 11 by 2 and get 5.5 and multiply that by 7, hope this makes sense, if you don't understand just comment and I'll explain it more :)
First, you gotta simplify. There’s really nothing to simplify so just take it out of the parenthesis.
2x-8=2x-4
Now turn the -8 into a +8. Add it on each side.
2x=2x+8
Now turn the 2x on the right into a negative. Do the same thing you did with the 8.
Now it’s:
0 = 8
That means there’s no solution.
Hope this helped :)
Answer:
100
Step-by-step explanation:
sum the parts of the ratio, 4 + 5 + 1 = 10 parts
Fiona gets 40 sweets which is 4 parts of the ratio
Divide Fiona's share by 4 to find the value of one part of the ratio
40 ÷ 4 = 10 ← 1 part of the ratio
The total number of sweets is 10 parts , thus
number of sweets in total = 10 × 10 = 100
