Respuesta :
For your first answer 2=x+5/17 your second answer is 29. This is because "x" is the number that you need to bake which is 29. Therefore, 31/17=2
Answer:
Additional muffins required, x = 29
The equation so that the units on each side of the equation are muffins per student
[tex]\frac{5+x}{17}=2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the additional number x of muffins you need to bake in order to have 2 muffins for each student.
We have total number of students = 17
Number of muffins already baked = 5
So total number of muffins made = Number of muffins already baked + Additional muffins to be made
Total number of muffins made = 5 + x
We know that each student need to get 2 muffins
Total muffins needed = 17 x 2
Equating both
5 + x = 17 x 2
x = 34 - 5 = 29
Additional muffins required, x = 29
[tex]\frac{5+x}{17}=2[/tex]
This is the equation so that the units on each side of the equation are muffins per student
