32 students choose a favorite topping for their slices.
Let x be the total number of students.
1/2 of the total students, or 1/2x, choose pepperoni.
1/4 of the total students, or 1/4x, choose extra cheese.
1/8 of the total students, or 1/8x, choose sausage.
4 students choose mushrooms.
We know that together, these equal the total number of students, x:
1/2x+1/4x+1/8x+4=x
We will use 8 as the common denominator:
4/8x+2/8x+1/8x+4=x
Combining like terms:
7/8x+4=x
Subtract 7/8x from both sides:
7/8x+4-7/8x=x-7/8x
4=1x-7/8x
4=1/8x
Divide both sides by 1/8:
4÷(1/8) = 1/8x÷(1/8)
4/1÷(1/8) = x
4/1×8/1 = x
32/1 = x
32 = x

Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
2y+2=36
Let's solve this equation for 2y first. This means get 2y by itself.
So to get 2y by itself I need to undo that addition of 2 next to it.
The inverse operation of addition is subtraction.
I'm going to subtract 2 on both sides:
2y =36-2
2y =34
Now we want to get y by itself so we divide both sides by 2 since division and multiplication are inverse operations:
y= 34/2
y= 17
