Question

A pizza can be shared by (y + 3) friends. If there are (y2 + 6y + 9) pizzas, which expression represents each friend’s share?and 2 + 6 and + 9y + 3y - 3(y + 3)(y - 3)

Answer 1

In order to find each friend's share, we need to divide the total amount of pizza by the number of friends.

The total pizza is y² + 6y + 9, and the number of friends is y + 3, so we have:

$\frac{y^2+6y+9}{y+3}=\frac{(y+3)^2}{y+3}=y+3$

Therefore the correct option is the second one: y + 3.
