Noah solved an equation as shown below and found that the equation has infinitely

Noah solved an equation as shown below and found that the equation has infinitely many solutions. Negative 3 (x + 4) + 2 x = 2 (x minus 6) minus 3 x. Negative 3 x minus 12 + 2 x = 2 x minus 12 minus 3 x. Negative x minus 12 = negative x minus 12. Which explains whether Noah is correct? Noah is correct because the two sides of the equation are equivalent expressions. Noah is correct because if he continues the solution, the final solution will be x = negative 2. Noah is not correct because the equivalent expressions mean that there is no solution. Noah is not correct because he used the distributive property incorrectly.

\frac{16}{3}\ cups \ of\ flour, \frac{8}{3}\ cups\ of\ sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Jay is making 8 dozen cookies.

Each dozen uses 2/3 cup of flour and 1/3 cup of sugar.

Question asked:

What is the total number of cups of flour and sugar Jay needs for the cookies

Solution:

By unitary method:

For flour

For each dozen cookies, Jay uses cup of flour = \frac{2}{3}\

For 8 dozens cookies, Jay uses cup of flour = \frac{2}{3}\times8=\frac{16}{3}

For sugar.

For each dozen cookies, Jay uses cup of sugar = \frac{1}{3}

For 8 dozens cookies, Jay uses cup of sugar = \frac{1}{3}\times8=\frac{8}{3}

Thus, Jay needs \frac{16}{3}\ cups \ of\ flour and \frac{8}{3}\ cups\ of\ sugar.
