Question

Frank has devised a formula for his catering business that calculates the number of meatballs he needs to prepare. The formula is: m=4a+2c, where c is the number of children; m= the number of meatballs; a= the number of adults

Answer 1

you are given the equation m = 4a + 2c, where a = # of adults, and c = # of children, and m = the # of meatballs required to feed those adults and children

the problem asks how many meatballs it would take to feed 25 adults and 5 children, so plug in a = 25 and c = 5 into the original equation, and evaluate m.

Answer 2

thank you
