Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
18x + -6y = 12
Solving
18x + -6y = 12
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '6y' to each side of the equation.
18x + -6y + 6y = 12 + 6y
Combine like terms: -6y + 6y = 0
18x + 0 = 12 + 6y
18x = 12 + 6y
Divide each side by '18'.
x = 0.6666666667 + 0.3333333333y
Simplifying
x = 0.6666666667 + 0.3333333333y
you would use 1.5 packets, but that requires 2 packets.
1 packet in total would feed 8 people, and half of another would feed an extra 4. 4+8 = 12.
To write a number in scientific notation put the decimal after the first digit and drop the zeros and to find the exponent count the number of places from the decimal to the end of the number to express 3,500 use 3.5 x 10 ^ 3 or 3.5E03
