Jessica purchased a large cookie in the shape of a spring peep. After arriving home. She ate part of the cookie and had 1/4 remaining. She decided to give the rest of her cookie to her three sisters to let them share equally. What fraction of the cookie will each of her sisters get to eat.

of the cookie

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Jessica had 1/4 of the cookie remaining when she got home.

She shared it equally among her 3 sisters.

So, we come up with variable x, where it tells who much the three sisters get.

x=

Each of the three sisters get of the original cookie.

Hope this helps!

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
