Answer: 8</h3>
=======================================================
Work Shown:
Let's say there are 28 cards in a full stack.
6/7 = 24/28 after multiplying top and bottom by 4
Since he has 24/28 of a stack left, this means he has 24 cards left.
He wants to arrange the remaining cards into piles so that each pile consists of 3/28 of a full stack. In other words, he wants each pile to have 3 cards.
So this must mean he will get 24/3 = 8 piles
(8 piles)*(3 cards per pile) = 8*3 = 24 cards total
<span>A)x-y+3 is your answer
Proof:
(5 x)/4 - 8 y - x/4 + 7 y + 3
Put each term in (5 x)/4 - 8 y - x/4 + 7 y + 3 over the common denominator 4: (5 x)/4 - 8 y - x/4 + 7 y + 3 = (5 x)/4 - (32 y)/4 - (x)/4 + (28 y)/4 + 12/4:
(5 x)/4 - (32 y)/4 - x/4 + (28 y)/4 + 12/4
(5 x)/4 - (32 y)/4 - x/4 + (28 y)/4 + 12/4 = (5 x - 32 y - x + 28 y + 12)/4:
(5 x - 32 y - x + 28 y + 12)/4
Grouping like terms, 5 x - 32 y - x + 28 y + 12 = (28 y - 32 y) + (5 x - x) + 12:
((28 y - 32 y) + (5 x - x) + 12)/4
28 y - 32 y = -4 y:
(-4 y + (5 x - x) + 12)/4
5 x - x = 4 x:
(-4 y + 4 x + 12)/4
Factor 4 out of -4 y + 4 x + 12:
(4 (-y + x + 3))/4
(4 (-y + x + 3))/4 = 4/4×(3 + x - y) = 3 + x - y:
Answer: 3 + x - y
