Trish made a few pans of brownies to sell. rachel also contributed 5 pans. each pan of brownies was cut into 12 squares. if there were a total of 84 brownie squares, how many pans of brownies did trish make ? answer must be a two-step

Trisha made 2 pans of brownies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pans of brownies made by Trisha be 'x'.

Given:

Number of pans contributed by Rachel = 5

Number of squares in each pan = 12

Total number of squares (S) = 84

Total number of pans (N) = Number of pans by Trisha (x) + Number of pans by Rachel

So, -------- (1)

Total number of squares (S) = Number of squares in each pan × Number of pans (N).

Plug in the value of 'N' from equation (1) in equation (2). This gives,

Solve for 'x'.

Therefore, Trisha made 2 pans of brownies.

step-by-step explanation:

because 1/3 is a fraction. we can tell because there is a divisor symbol between the 1 and the 3. if we were to add 2 fractions together, we would add the numerators, which is the number on top, but not the denominators, which is the number on the bottom

1/3+1/3=2/3

hope this !
