Which equation represents the solution to the following?

Answer 5

How many lemons do I have?

Answer 6

\[5L+2=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 } , \frac{ 5L+2 }{ 3 }=4 , \frac{ 5L }{ 3} +2= 4, \frac{ 5 }{ L } + \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } + 2 = 4\]
are the answer choices

Answer 7

So there is you, Jill, and Emma

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

Ima solve the lemon one first haha

Answer 10

Okay. I'll try solving it too?

Answer 11

Aye sure sounds good yes.

Answer 12

So to solve the number of lemons would the equation be (5*2)L/3?

Answer 13

5(2)L/3=4
I think?

Answer 14

Ima break it down simple as I can.

Answer 15

Okay and I will listen as best as I can :D

Answer 16

We need to figure out all 3s Totals

Answer 17

We already know Emma has 4 lemmons

Answer 18

And that is 1/3 of Jills total

Answer 19

So 4x3

Answer 20

Is 12

Answer 21

Jill has 12 Yes

Answer 22

Now the hard part

Answer 23

Okay :D

Answer 24

Well sorta

Answer 25

We just have to find out how many lemons you have :O
Jill has two more limes than five times the number lemons that I/you have.

Answer 26

So x= 5*(12-2)?

Answer 27

I dont think so I believe It is saying Jill is going to have more lemons

Answer 28

12-2/5

Answer 29

I believe

Answer 30

Im going to verify this

Answer 31

@kropot72 Please assist

Answer 32

Okay :P

Answer 33

I believe it would leave you with 2 lemons

Answer 34

How would it be only 2 lemons D:?

Answer 35

But the way its worded kinda got me thinking multiple things

Answer 36

Because she has 2 more then you when your number is multiplied times 5

Answer 37

So you have 2 lemons and * that by 5 you get 10 And she has 2 more

Answer 38

Yes but I got 11 :I?

Answer 39

Oh

Answer 40

How did you get 11...

Answer 41

That could not even be possible...

Answer 42

Well in less Jill does not even have 12 lemons

Answer 43

well I did 12-2/5 and 2 divided by 5 is .4 and 12-.4 is 11.6 and I changed it to 11?

Answer 44

why did you do 2/5?

Answer 45

Cause you said to

Answer 46

You already did here 12-2/5

Answer 47

You then did it again?

Answer 48

I guess?

Answer 49

Kropot72 Save me haha

Answer 50

I thought a human calculator knows best? :o

Answer 51

I feel as if i know but you got me second guessing <.<

Answer 52

Oops :3

Answer 53

Im a human calculator when it comes to 2 + 2

Answer 54

hahaha

Answer 55

Let x be the number of lemons that I have.
The number of limes that Jill has = 5x + 2
The number of limes that Emma has is give by:
\[\frac{5x+2}{3}=4\ .........(1)\]
Multiplying both sides of (1) by 3 we gwt:
5x + 2 = 12
5x = 10
x = 2

Answer 56

given*

Answer 57

Goodness your smart o.o

Answer 58

Okay so we both got 2 :D

Answer 59

Cool!

Answer 60

Just wanted to verify
