The Cooking Club made some pies to sell at a basketball game to raise money for the new math books. The cafeteria contributed three pies to the sale. Each pie was then cut into five pieces and sold. There were a total of 40 pieces to sell. How many pies did the club make? Pls give me an expression and show work.

they made 5 pies

Step-by-step explanation:

total sold = 40

3 pies from the cafeteria times 5 cut pieces = 15

40 - 15 = 25

25 / 5 = 5

the expression is 5x + 15 = 40

5 is how many slices were cut

15 is the slices from the 3 from the cafeteria

40 is how many were sold

5 is how many were made

fa tha first one you gonna add y to both sides

it look like this

x-y+y=6+y

x=y+6

therefore your answer is

x =y+6

fa tha second one

you gonna flip tha equation

it gonna look like x-4y=y

then add 4 to both sides

it gonna look like tha

x-4 +4 =y +4

so therefore tha answer is x=y+4
