x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to get rid of the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by x.

— (14.8/x + 2.4) * x = 5.36 * x

— 14.8 + 2.4x = 5.36x

Next, subtract 2.4x from both sides of the equation.

— 14.8 + 2.4x - 2.4x = 5.36x - 2.4x

— 14.8 = 2.96x

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 2.96.

— 14.8/2.96 = 2.96x/2.96

— 5 = x

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
