Ashley has baked 17 cakes for a bake sale. She can bake 2 cakes with each additional stick of butter she buys. How many additional sticks of butter does she need in order to make 41 cakes?
WRITE THE EQUATION THEN SOLVE PLEAS. THANK YOU SO MUCH

12 additional sticks of butter

Step-by-step explanation:

First, create an equation. Let y represent the number of additional sticks of butter needed, and let x represent the number of cakes made.

y = will be the equation.

Since she has already baked 17 cakes, she will need to bake 24 more cakes to make 41 cakes.

Plug in 24 as x into the equation, and solve for y:

y =

y =

y = 12

So, she will need 12 additional sticks of butter

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.
