1. Mrs. Smith wants to give the same number of candies to several children.
When she gives each child 3 pieces, there is a shortage of 7 candies.
When she gives each child 2 pieces, there are 14 candies left.
How many children are there?

2.
Joseph wants to share his gumballs with his friends.
If he gives each friend 4 gumballs, there are 12 gumballs left.
If he gives each friend 6 gumballs, there is a shortage of 4 gumballs.
How many friends are there?

(3x-8) or (3x+8)

step-by-step explanation:

there are 70 more legs than eyes at the dog show (196 – 126 = 70). dogs have two more legs than eyes, and humans have the same number of legs as eyes. thus 70 is twice the number of dogs at the show, so the number of dogs is half of 70, which is 35. to get the number of humans, subtract 35 from 63: 63 – 35 = 28.

step-by-step explanation:

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
