Answer:

40 1/2 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of biscuits the Jones eats daily = 2/3 of a packet

Total packets of biscuits = 27 packets

How long will 27 packets last the family?

= Total packets of biscuits / daily intake of biscuits of the Jones

= 27 ÷ 2/3

= 27 × 3/2

= 81 / 2

= 40 1/2 days

3p - 2(p-4) = 7p + 6

Serggg [28]

For this case we must find the value of the variable "p" of the following equation:

$3p-2 (p-4) = 7p + 6$

We apply distributive property on the left side of the equation taking into account that $+*-=-$ and $- * - = +$ :

$3p-2p + 8 = 7p + 6$

We add similar terms:

$p + 8 = 7p + 6$

We subtract $7p$ from both sides of the equation:

$p-7p + 8 = 6\\-6p + 8 = 6$

We subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:

$-6p = 6-8\\-6p = -2$

We divide by -6 on both sides of the equation:

$p = \frac {-2} {- 6}\\p = \frac {1} {3}$

Answer:

$p = \frac {1} {3}$
