Answer:
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
x = Number of gold coins in a chest
1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain
1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally
3 = Number of gold coins left
2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?
Let's write the following equation to solve for x:
1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x
2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)
4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)
x = 12
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
2/3x - 14/3 = -2
3(2/3x - 14/3) = -2(3)
2x - 14 = -6
2x = -6 + 14
2x = 8
x = 8/2
x= 4
hope this helps :)
