Answer:
= 4 1/6 ---------------> final answer
Step-by-step explanation:
1 2/3 cup of sugar
That is : 5/3 cups of sugar for 1 cookie recipe
So for 1 recipe ------------- 5/3 cups of sugar
hence for 2 1/2 recipe ---------------> (5/3) * (5/2)
= 25/6
= 4 1/6 ---------------> final answer
Step-by-step explanation:
what's his goal I will give answer in comments after you tell me
Simplify brackets
2/5(x - 4) = 2x
Simplify 2/5(x - 4) to 2(x - 4)/5
2(x - 4)/5 = 2x
Multiply both sides by 5
2(x - 4) = 10x
Divide both sides by 2
x - 4 = 5x
Subtract x from both sides
-4 = 5x - x
Simplify 5x - x to 4x
-4 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4
-1 = x
Switch sides
<u>x = -1</u>
165 - 57 and divide that by 2. So that would be 54
