Darren picked 25 flowers that he plans to divide evenly into 3 vases. He will use as many flowers per vase as he can, but may have flowers left

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we are required to place flowers evenly across  3 flower vases.

Given that we have 25 flower to collect from and distribute evenly.

we are going to divide 25 by 3

We have

From the result in the improper fraction we can see the Darren can place 8 flowers evenly of the 25 flowers and there will be just one left over

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

the answer is 11.2 (i know i’m late)
