Question

1.Mary has ( 20xy - 10x²) sweets. She wants to divide the sweets equally among her (5x) friends.

if X=6 and Y=4, how many sweets:

will she give to each friend?​

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

The number each friend will get is the total number divided by the number of friends:

(20xy -10x²)/5x = (4y -2x) = 2(2y -x)

__

For x=6 and y=4, the number each friend will get is ...

2(2×4 -6) = 2(2) = 4

Mary will give 4 sweets to each friend.
