The goal to proving identities is to transform one side into the other. We can only pick one side to transform while the other side stays the same the entire time. The general rule of thumb is to transform the more complicated side (though there may be exceptions to this guideline).
So I'll take the left hand side and try to turn it into 
One way we can do that is through the following steps:
Since we've shown that the left hand side transforms into the right hand side, this verifies the equation is an identity.

Answer:
Part A: James needs 10 1/2 cups of sugar if he uses all 7 cups of flour
Part B: James will make 72 muffins if he uses all 7 cups of flour
Step-by-step explanation:
*I had an easier time figuring out part B before I figured out part A
PART B:
If the original recipe uses 2 1/3 cups of flour, and James has 7 cups of flour, I started off by dividing 7 by 2 1/3 to see how many times we can get 2 1/3 cups out of 7 cups. 7 divided by 2 1/3 = 3. Now that we know we can get 3 cups out of 2 1/3 cups, we need to multiply 3 by 24 to find out how many muffins James will get. 24 * 3 = 72
James will get 72 muffins by using 7 cups of flour.
PART A: Now we know that James is making 72 muffins. We need to find out how many cups of sugar James needs. To do that we can multiply 1 1/2 cups by 7. The product is 10 1/2 cups of sugar. Now we know that James needs 10 1/2 cups of flour if he uses all 7 cups of flour.
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
4,344 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Mt. P is 1,086 feet tall. It says that Mt. Q is 4 times that. 1,086 x 4 is 4,344.
