Answer:
66 pieces of candy.
Step-by-step explanation:
First I set up the equation: (c/6)-4 = 7
c represents the candy she started with.
6 represent when she split the candy
4 is the number of pieces she has eaten
7 is the number of pieces she has left
after setting up the equation, you want to add four to the other side to get 11
c/6 = 7+4 --> c/6 = 11
Then you want to multiply by 6 to get ride of the fraction to get a total of 66 pieces of candy.
c = 11 x 6 --> c = 66
Answer:
6y + 11.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pieces she started with be x. Then:
x = 6y + 4 + 7
x = 6y + 11
She started with 6y + 11 pieces of candy ( where y is a positive integer).
