@iGreen i need help

Answer 3

Okay, we can use 'd' for desserts, so if each one needs 4 ounces, we multiply 4 * d, or 4d.

So our expression is 4dd

Answer 4

*4d

Answer 5

That takes care of Part A.

Answer 6

Now for Part B, we just add 'equals 24' at the end of our expression.

4d = 24

Answer 7

That's our equation

Answer 8

Now to solve it, we divide 4 to both sides, what's 24 / 4?

Answer 9
