Jonathan has 30 chocolates. He gives some chocolates to his friend David. He then gives Sarah half the number of chocolates that he gave David and gives Lily two-thirds of what he gave David. After giving away the chocolates, Jonathan has 4 chocolates left. If the number of chocolates Jonathan gives David is x, which equation represents the situation? How many solutions does this equation have?

Answer:

Heyyyy :D

In Edmentum the answer is D, x+ 1/2x+2/3x+4= 30 which has one solution!! I am sorry if this is not correct on other apps but I want to say the answer above is NOT the correct answer on Edmentum!!

Byeee ;)

plz give Brainliest

The equation which represent this situation is 30 - 13x/6 =4. The Solution to this equation is x = 12 So, the answer is D, x+ 1/2x+2/3x+4= 30 which has one solution.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

The Total no. of chocolates with Jonathan = 30

The  no. of chocolates given to David Is x.

Given;

He then gives Sarah half the number of chocolates that he gave David

The no. of chocolates given to Sarah = 1/2 of no. of chocolates given to David

The no. of chocolates given to Sarah = 1/2 of x = x/2

Now, Lily two-thirds of what he gave David. After giving away the chocolates

The no. of chocolates given to Lily = 2/3 of no. of chocolates given to David.

The no. of chocolates given to Lily = 2/3 of x = 2x/3

Now, the Total no. of chocolates given to David , Sarah and lily

= x+x/2+2x/3

LCM of 2 and 3 is 6

The Total no. of chocolates given to David , Sarah and lily

=( 6x + 3x+ 4x)/6

The Total no. of chocolates given to David , Sarah and lily =13x/6

After giving away the chocolates, Jonathan has 4 chocolates left

The Chocolate left with Jonathan = Total no. of chocolates with Jonathan  - Total no. of chocolates given to David , Sarah and lily

4 = 30 - 13x/6

4 + 13x/6  = 30

13x/6 = 30-4 = 26

x = 26*6/13 = 2*6

x =12

Hence, the equation which represent this situation is 30 - 13x/6 =4

The Solution to this equation is x = 12

So, the answer is D, x+ 1/2x+2/3x+4= 30 which has one solution.
