jenny has an 18in sub she cuts it so demi gets half of what she gets and drew gets 3/4 of what jenny gets. what is the length of each persons sandwich this is as far as I get then I get stuck.
let x = jennys
x+x/2+3/4x=18
Where do I go from here
Solution
x+x/2+(3/4)x=18
Let\'s multiply everything by 4. We are selecting 4 because this number is easily divisible by either 2 or 4...
4(x+x/2+(3/4)x)=18(4)
4x+(4x)/2+(4)(3/4)x=18(4)
4x+2x+3x=72
9x=72
x=8 inches=Jenny\'s share
x/2=4 inches=Demi\'s share
(3/4)x=6 inches=Drew\'s share
8 + 4 + 6=18
