How many 5/4 cm-thick slices can be cut from a loaf of garlic bread that is 31 1/4cm long?

answer: 8

step-by-step explanation: if you add the possibilities 5 different flavor and 3 different sizes 5+3=8

given the equation is 8+9z=-6, the first step would be to subtract the 8 from both sides:

8+9z-8=-6-8

since 8 minus 8 = 0, this would cancel out the 8. and since -6 minus 8 equals -14, the equation would look like this

9z = -14
