6(x+9) is the factored expression.
Take the .5 of the 17.5 and convert it to a fractin.
we know .5 is equal to 50% or 1/2
now we have a mixed number

in order to convert it into an improper fraction you need to multiply the whole number by the denominator and then add the numerator all while keeping the denominator constant.

so
12÷5=1.5 of licorice will each person get

Step-by-step explanation:
Question # 14
Given the numbers
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Let 'x' be the number
The condition breakdown:
I am less than 20.
- So the number 'x' must be less than 20 i.e. x < 20
I am more than 13.
- So the number 'x' must be greater than 13 i.e. x > 13
I am less than 17.
- So the number 'x' must be less than 17 i.e. x < 17
Finally:
I am 4 more than 12
i.e. 12+4 = 16
Thus, the number is x = 16
Question # 15
Part a)
Given the numbers
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Let 'x' be the number
The condition breakdown:
I am more than 10.
I am less than 20.
I am more than 12.
I am less than 15.
As the numbers left after all the conditions are fulfilled are 13 and 14.
- But the last condition is, of the numbers that left, the number is greater than all the remaining numbers.
So, from the remaining number 13 and 14;
14 > 13
Thus, the number x = 14
