Respuesta :
Answer: [tex]0.5 * (16 + 0.5c)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Creating identical expressions involves changing quantities in a way that preserves the end values specified in the equation.
For instance, if Lei sold 4 carnations:
[tex]8 + 0.25 (4) = 9\\\\0.25 * (32 + 4) = 9[/tex]
In the second equation listed, the expression (8 + 0.25c) was multiplied by 4, then by 0.25, for a total multiplicand of 1.
You can make a third equation through the same method. I'll multiply (8 + 0.25c) by 2, and then multiply that expression by 0.5 to keep the multiplicand unchanged:
[tex]0.5 * (16 + 0.5c)[/tex]
If Lei sold 4 carnations:
0.5 * (16 + 2) = 9
This equation represents the same quantities as the other equations.
