Step-by-step explanation:

Here is how I would solve this-

What is the question? How much punch did she drink in all?

What do we need to know? 11/3 + 4/6 cups of punch.

How can we make them have a common denominator? 22/6 + 4/6

Add them together! (22 + 4 = 26) so you get 26/6

Final Answer = Pat drank 26/6 (4 1/3 or 13/3) cups of punch.

Hope this helps! Good luck and let me know if this is right!

(x-12) = x/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write an equation

spending $12 out of the x equals that she has 1/5 of the original x

Mathematically, we have this as;

(x-12) = 1/5(x)

or (x-12) = x/5
