8 - 4(-x + 5)

As you already know, in order to find the equivalent expression to our already given one, we have to simplify it first :)

8 +4x - 20

**Remember that a negative times a negative is always a positive!!**

Add like terms.

Answer:

24 students

Step-by-step explanation:

So we started with 32 cups of juice.

Kahled drunk 2 cups so (32-2)=30 cups is left.

If x represents the number of students he receive juice and each student gets the same amount of juice which is 1.25 cups, then we have the equation

1.25x=30 to solve for x.

Divide both sides by 1.25:

x=30/1.25
