Answer:

23

Explanation:

Ok so heres the deal: You want to somehow take all 414 of those delicious pretzels and put them into x groups of 18. To do that you would divide 414 by the number of groups (x).

414/x=18

To solve this you just have to get x by itself.

So, multiply both sides by x.

414=18x.

Now divide by 18

414/18=x

23=x
