Answer 2

okay

Answer 3

okay so you have to plug in the number of adults(a) and the number of children(c) to the equation. There are 20 adults(a) and 5 children(c). So then we can solve by multiplying 4 by 20 and 2 by 5. Then we will have m=90. Does this make sense?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 6

use your formula : m = 4a + 2c
adults (a) = 20
children (c) = 5
now just sub
m = 4(20) + 2(5)
m = 80 + 10
m = 90
Its that simple :)

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

thank yall

Answer 9

anytime :)

Answer 10

how can it be 90

Answer 11

a = number of adults and there are 20
c = number of children and there are 5

formula : m = 4a + 2c
apparently the formula is set up where every adult gets 4 meatballs and every child gets 2 meatballs.
so we just sub
m = 4a + 2c
m = 4(20) + 2(5)
m = 80 + 10
m = 90
