Five friends bake ginger bread and subsequently meet up for a tasting session. Each one gives one of his ginger
breads to each other person. Then each person eats all of the ginger bread they were given. After that the
number of ginger breads halves. How many ginger breads did the five friends have to start with?

The five friends had 10 fingers to start with; one had two each

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement says each gave one of not all of his ginger in the toasting session.

since we know that the two functions are equal, f (x) = g

(x), therefore when we equate the two equations the result should be similar to

3x = x – 4:

a. f(x) = 3x, g(x) = x – 4

equating the two functions:

3x = x – 4             (correct)

so we now got our answer (a)

alaska, florida, nevada, south dakota, texas, washington and wyoming, tenessee and new hampshire.
