Answer: X = 0.84 cups of brown sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
The Proportion is this:
1. 1/3c = x
18cookies = 45cookies
2. Cross Multiply
18x = 1/3 times 45
3. Divide 18x on both sides.
Answer:
5/6 cups of sugar
45 divided by 18 = 2.5
1/3 x 2.5 = 0.83
0.83 = 5/6 cups
y = -4
-4y - 3 + 3y = 8 - 2y - 15
~Combine like terms
-y - 3 = -2y - 7
~Add 3 to both sides
-y = -2y - 4
~Add 2y to both sides
Best of Luck!
