Answer:
If each carton can feed 4 people, then you can buy 7 carton and feed 4 people per carton with leftovers expected, or you can buy 5 carton and serve 5 people per carton with no leftovers
Step-by-step explanation:
5 carton × 5 = 25 people fed
while 7 carton × 4 = 28 people = 25 people fed plus leftover for 3 people
X = mary's shells
g = 1 1/4x + 5
n = 1 1/2x+ 1
g = n
1 1/4x + 5 = 1 1/2x + 1
5/4x + 5 = 3/2x + 1...multiply by common denominator of 4, this will get rid of fractions...however, this is optional...u can work with fractions if u wish.
5x + 20 = 6x + 4
5x - 6x = 4 - 20
-x = - 16
x = 16....so Mary has 16 shells
Answer: M=2n-2
2n-2=0
2n-2+2=0+2
2n=2
Divide both side by 2
n=1

Answer:
3x + 4 = 12 :- x = 8 / 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4 = 12
Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
3x = 12 - 4
Subtract 4 from 12.
3x = 8
Divide each term by 3 and simplify.
Divide each term in 3x = 8 by 3.
3x / 3 = 8 / 3
Cancel the common factor of 3.
Divide x by 1.
x = 8 / 3
The result can be shown in multiple forms.
Exact Form:
x = 8 / 3
Decimal Form:
x = 2.6
Mixed Number Form:
x = 2 2/3
