Step-by-step explanation:

28 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

If we try to divide 59 by 2 we get an answer of 29 and r1 so the answer would be 1 friend less.

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
