<h3>Answer:  6 ounces</h3>

========================================================

Work Shown:

(6 servings)/(4 oz of sauce) = (8 servings)/(x oz of sauce)

6/4 = 8/x

6*x = 4*8

6x = 32

x = 32/6

x = 5.333 approximately

x = 6 we round up despite 5.333 being closer to 5, than it is to 6.

If we went with 5 ounces, then we wouldn't clear the hurdle needed to serve 8 people.

The section below goes over why this is the case in more detail.

---------

6 servings : 4 ounces

6/4 servings : 4/4 ounces

1.5 servings : 1 ounce

So one ounce of sauce gets us 1.5 servings.

If we multiply both sides by 5, then,

1.5 servings : 1 ounce

5*1.5 servings : 5*1 ounce

7.5 servings : 5 ounces

This shows that 5 ounces of sauce will only produce 7.5 servings, which comes up short compared to 8 servings.

If we multiplied both sides by 6, then

1.5 servings : 1 ounce

6*1.5 servings : 6*1 ounce

9 servings : 6 ounces

This shows that 6 ounces of sauce yields 9 servings. We've gone overboard, but it's better to do that than come up short.

We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
  x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
           -85                       -85
_______________________
      x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204                    
     +34x         +34x
_______________________
 x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2             -x^2
____________________
       34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
      x = 6.
The number is 6.

I don't get how to solve for x with prathesis
Brums [2.3K]
Just remember that something outside the parentheses applies to everything inside.

Examples:

3 times (x + 2) . . . . . means . . . . . 3 times 'x'  <u>plus</u>  3 times 2

a (b + c) . . . . . means . . . . . ab  <u>plus</u>  ac

4 (w + x + y + 2) . . . means . . . 4w + 4x + 4y + 8

When somebody gives you an equation that has parentheses in it,
the first thing you're always supposed to do is get rid of them. 
With the examples I just gave you, you know how to do that now.
