a cereal box manufacturer changes the size
of the box to increase the amount of cereal it
contains. the equations 12 + 7.6n and 6 + 8n,
where n is the number of smaller boxes, are
both representative of the amount of cereal that
the new larger box contains. how many smaller
boxes equal the same amount of cereal in the
larger box?

10.5 small boxes equals the same amount of cereal in a large box

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Let

n is the number of smaller boxes

we know that

The equations

12 + 7.6n and 6 + 8n

are  both representative of the amount of cereal that  the new larger box  contains

so

Solve for n

so

The amount of cereal in a large box is

Remember that the amount of cereal in the smaller box is 12 ounces (see the attached figure)

so

Divide the volume of the larger box by the volume of the smaller box

therefore

10.5 small boxes equals the same amount of cereal in a large box

chad should not have included the values (1, 2) and (3, 6) because that would mean he only had half a healing card.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
