7 total cups of flour divided by 2.33 cups of flour needed per batch of 24 muffins equals three batches, then multiply total number of batches by number of muffins in each batch- 3x24- gives you a total of 72 muffins
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
3(3 - 8x) - 1 = -6x - 28
Distribute
9 -24x -1 = -6x -28
Combine like terms
8 -24x = -6x -28
Add 24x to each side
8-24x+24x = -6x-28+24x
8 = 18x-28
Add 28 to each side
8+28 = 18x-28+28
36 = 18x
Divide each side by 18
36/18 = 18x/18
2 =x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Use the distributive property to write the problem without parentheses. The distributive property says that you can multiply a number next to parentheses by all the numbers inside parentheses. The picture below explains.
Therefore, your answer is
There may be more than one way in which to answer this question. I will assume that the "equation" is a linear one: f(x) = mx + b.
Then (16/3) = m(1) + b
This is one equation in two unknowns, so it does not have a unique solution. Was there more to this problem than you have shared?
If we assume that the y-intercept (b) is zero, then y = mx, and
16/3 = 1m, so that m = 16/3, and so y = (16/3)x.
