If 1/6 of the pan was left and there were 2 pieces left you just need to set 1/6 equal to 2/some number, this allows you to say that 1/6=2/x --> x/6=2-->x=12.
My explanation might be a little poor since this becomes fairly fundamental later on but hopefully it helps.
Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation is :

The equation can be solved for a as follows :
Step 1.
Cross multiply the given equation

Step 2.
Now subtract b on both sides
3s-b = a+b+c-b
3s-b = a+c
Step 3.
Subtract c on both sides
3s-b-c=a+c-c
⇒ a=3s-b-c
The statement that is true for Darpana is " In step 3, she needed to subtract c rather than divide".
4y^2 + 16y
You distribute the 2y into the 2y+8
Your answer would be x= -42
For option a, y = 3(4) - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11 [not correct]
For option b, y = 3(2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5 [correct]
Therefore option b is a solution to the given equation.
