5 4. Vera is buying plates, bowls, and cups for a
picnic. Plates come in packages of 24, bowls
come in packages of 16, and cups come in
packages of 18. If she wants to have an
equal number of plates, bowls, and cups,
how many packages of each should she
buy?

Step-by-step explanation:

4/6 = 2/3

so it should take 3/3 hours per man. so 9 hours is the answer 3*3 =9

step-by-step explanation:

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
