Answer:
13 31/40
Step-by-step explanation:
1) convert both fractions into improper fractions (you can do so by multiplying the whole number by the denominator/bottom part and then adding that to the numerator/top part)
by doing this, you will get 51/8 and 37/5
2) since you need a common denominator in order to add the two fractions, multiply the top and bottom of 51/8 by 5. Then, multiply the top and bottom of 37/5 by 8.
3) Then, add the top numbers together and your answer will be 551/40, which can be simplified into 13 31/40
I hope this helps!

Answer:
Equation: 3x + 2 = 50
# of friends: 16
Step-by-step explanation:
3 chocolates each or 3x because what "each" means is not known yet-
3x
<em>Note: Always use x for an unknown value</em>
2 remaining chocolates-
3x + 2
50 total chocolates-
3x + 2 = 50
Remove two to keep the x alone-
3x = 48
Remove the 3 or the "Coefficient" by dividing-
48/3 = 16
x = 16
Equation: 3x + 2 = 50

If the recipe needs 200g of chocolate bars, and that recipe feeds 8 people, you need to figure out how many times you'd have to make a recipe to feed 50 people.
50 is not a factor of 8, so we have to break the recipe down. if 200g of chocolate feeds 8 people, then it's safe to assume that 100g feeds 4 people, and 50g feeds 2 people.
The closest you get to 50 without exceeding it by a factor of 8 is 6 x 8= 48. You'd be missing the chocolate for two people, all you have to do is add 50 grams of a chocolate bar.
You have to multiply each ingredient by 6 therefore everything is exactly the same, just amplified. 200 x 6 =1200, which means you'd need 1200g of chocolate bars + 50g to make a mousse for 50 people.
Each chocolate bar has 150g, so now what you do is you get the 1250g and divide it by 150g. This will tell you the amount of chocolate bars you need to complete the recipe for 50 people. The answer is 8.33333, which means Tim will have to buy 9 chocolate bars.
Let the second score = x
⇒ second score = x
<span>the first is 14 points more than the second
</span>⇒ first score = x + 14
<span>the sum of the first two is 6 more than twice the third
</span>⇒ third score = 1/2 (x + x + 14 - 6) = x + 4
<span>The sum of a student's three score is 246
</span>⇒ x + (x + 14) + (x + 4) = 246
<span>
Solve x:
</span>x + x + 14 + x + 4 = 246
3x + 18 = 246
3x = 228
x = 76
second score = x = 76
first score = x + 14 = 76 + 14 = 90
Answer: 90
