Hello!</h2><h2>
Let me help you.</h2>
As I understand, you need to write an equation that relates
. This problem will be solved using equations. The problem states:
<em>Nick bought t candies and divided them equally between his y friends and me. Each of us got 7 candies.</em>
<em />
From this statement, we know that:
t: Number of candies Nick bought.
y: Number of friends.
Since I am included in this problem, the number of people involved here can be expressed as:

Since each of us got 7 candies, then it is true that:

<em>So t (number of candies) is a function of y(number of friends).</em>
Answer:
x = 12 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 14x + 48 = 0
(x - 12)(x - 2) = 0
x = 12 x = 2
The increase from 5 to 8 was by 60%.
An equation is an equation because that is how it works for the numbers to be in order
