A group of four friends each mowed lawns after
school and on the weekends for a month. The
total number of lawns mowed can be represented
by the equation below.
1x + 1 x + 1/ 8x + 16 = 49
Each friend is represented by a term in the
equation. How many lawns, x, did the first friend
mow?
A. 11
B. 18
C. 27
D. 31/

Explanation:

The equation is garbled. Thus, I will modify it and show the procedure to find the solution.

Assuming the equation is:

Where each term of the left-hand side represents the number of lawns mowed by each friend.

You need to find x.

1. Determine the least common denominatorl LCD, of the two fractions:

2. Multiply the whole equation by the LCD:

3. Add like terms and subtract 96 from both sides:

4, Divide both sides by 11:

g/c=x

6900/23=300

Step-by-step explanation:

g/c=x

g= 600+1500+4800=6900

c= 2+5+16=23

6900/23=300
