Which equation could be used to solve the question below? Kitty made b cups of dough. She divided the dough into 3 equal clumps. Each of the dough clumps doubled in size. Now, each clump is made of 4 cups of dough. How many cups of dough did Kitty originally make?

Kitty originally made 6 cups of dough.

Step-by-step explanation:

* Kitty made b cups of dough

*She divided the dough into three equal clumps.

Let these clumps be C1, C2, and C3, such that

C1 + C2 + C3 = b (1)

and

C1 = C2 = C3(2)

=> 3C1 = b(3)

* Each of the dough clumps now double in size.

That is 2C1, 2C2, and 2C3.

* Each clump is made up of 4 cups of dough.

That is

2C1 = 4

2C2 = 4 }(4)

2C3 = 4

2C1 = 4

=> C1 = 2 (5)

Using C1 = 2 in (3)

3C1 = b

b = 3×2 = 6

So, Kitty originally made 6 cups of dough.

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:
