Worth 25 points! mindy and troy combined ate 9 pieces of the wedding cake. mindy ate 3 pieces of cake and troy had 1/4 of the total cake. write an equation to determine how many pieces of cake (c) there were in total. -remember to completely write out the correct equation and the toal amount of pieces of !

The equation we can use is

3 + 1/4c = 9

To find the total number of pieces, we would just solve the equation.

3 + 1/4c = 9

3 - 3 +1/4c = 9 - 3

1/4c = 6

inverse of division is multiputcation

4/1 *1/4c = 6*4

c = 24

There were 24 pieces of cake in total.

a² + b²= c²

24² + 7² = c²

c= 25

87%
