Question

HELP S.O.S HELPPPPPP ME Agranola bite contains 27 calories. Most of the calories come from grams of carbohydrates. The rest come from other

ingredients. One gram of carbohydrate contains 4 calories.
The equation 4c + 5 = 27 represents the relationship between these quantities.
1. What could the 5 represent in this situation?
2. Priya said that neither 8 nor 3 could be the solution to the equation. Explain why she is correct.
3 Find the solution to the equation,

Answer 1

A. The 5 would stand for the other ingredients.

B. She is correct since if you plug in those numbers for c they would be wrong

C. 5.5

Explanation:

A. The 5 would stand for the other ingredients.

The reason that it is the other ingredients since it is the only other possible answer

B. She is correct since if you plug in those numbers for c they would be wrong

C. 5.5

To do this you would just subtract 5 from both sides leaving you with 4c=22 then you would divide 4 from both sides so you get c= 22/4 and when you simplify you get 11/2 which as a number is 5.5

Answer 2

see below

Explanation:

4c + 5 = 27

1. 5 is the calories that come from something else besides carbohydrates in the one bite.

2.

Test the values 8 and 3

4*8 +5 = 32+5 = 37 this does not equal 27

4*3+5 = 12+5 = 17 this does not equal 27

neither 8 nor 3 are solutions

3.

4c + 5 = 27

Subtract 5 from each side

4c + 5-5 = 27-5

4c = 22

Divide each side by 4

4c/4 = 22/4

c =5.5
