Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3+z}{y}=A$

Explanation:

The equation we have is:

$3=Ay-z$

Where

A = total number of cupcakes

y = total number of people

z = number of people who don't eat cakes

To solve for A we follow these steps.

Step 1: Add +z to both sides of the equation

$\begin{gathered} 3+z=Ay-z+z \\ 3+z=Ay \end{gathered}$

Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by "y" to get A.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3+z}{y}=\frac{Ay}{y} \\ \\ \frac{3+z}{y}=A \end{gathered}$

Answer:

$\frac{3+z}{y}=A$
