start fraction, 1, divided by, 4, end fraction of the total cake.
write an equation to determine how many pieces of cake (c)(c)left parenthesis, c, right parenthesis there were in total.

Equation: 3 + 1/4c = 9

Total pieces: 24

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the test...

Sorry for not copying the explanation but you know how khan academy is...

whatever if you understand khan academy's language, here it is

Let ccc be the total number of pieces of wedding cake.

 c3, plus, start fraction, 1, divided by, 4, end fraction, c pieces of cake.

Hint #33 / 5

Since they ate 999 pieces of cake, let's set this equal to 999:

\qquad 3+\dfrac14c=93+

 c=9space, 3, plus, start fraction, 1, divided by, 4, end fraction, c, equals, 9

Now, let's solve the equation to find the total number of pieces of wedding cake (c)(c)left parenthesis, c, right parenthesis.

Hint #44 / 5

\begin{aligned} \qquad 3+\dfrac14c&=9\\ \\ 3+\dfrac14c\pink{-3}&=9\pink{-3}&&\pink{\text{subtract }3} \text{ from each side}\\ \\ \dfrac14c&=6\\ \\ \dfrac{\dfrac14c}{\blue{\dfrac14}}&=\dfrac{6}{\blue{\dfrac14}}&&\text{divide each side by $\blue{\dfrac14}$}\\ \\ c&=24\end{aligned}

Hope it helped lol

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
