Will brought a tray with 42 veggie sticks home from his job as a caterer. He took 18 carrot sticks off the tray. Half of the remaining sticks are peppers, and the other half are celery. Which equation can we use to find the number of pepper sticks on the tray?

The equation to find the number of pepper sticks is:

Number of pepper sticks = 1/2 (42 - 18)

The number of pepper sticks is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Will brought a tray with 42 veggie sticks home from his job as a caterer. He took 18 carrot sticks off the tray. Which equation can we use to find the number of pepper sticks on the tray?

The total number of veggie sticks = 42

The number of carrots sticks = 18

Let that number of the remaining veggies be represented as: d

Hence,

42 = 18 + remainder

42 - 18 = x

24 = x

We are told that:

Half of the remaining sticks are peppers, and the other half are celery.

The equation to find the number of pepper sticks is

Number of pepper sticks= (x)/2 = (42 - 18)/2

x = 1/2(42 - 18)

x = 1/2(24)

x = 12 pepper sticks

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
