Andy is babysitting his cousins, who are quintuplets. At snacktime, Andy puts 5 plates on the table. He cuts apples into slices and places an equal number of slices on each cousin's plate. There is a total of 40 apples slices on the plates.

they would

get 8 apple slices

Step-by-step explanation:

8x5=40

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
