Answer:
23 pints.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given an expression [tex]4p-9[/tex], where p is the number of pints of jam Oliver made last year. Our given expression represents the number of pints of jam Oliver makes this year.
We are also told that Oliver made 8 pints of jam last year. To find the number of pints of jam made by Oliver this year, we will substitute p=8 in our given expression.
[tex]\text{Pints of jam made by Oliver this year}=4\times 8-9[/tex]
[tex]\text{Pints of jam made by Oliver this year}=32-9[/tex]
[tex]\text{Pints of jam made by Oliver this year}=23[/tex]
Therefore, Oliver makes 23 pints of jam this year.
Hi!
