9. a chef prepares and evenly divides s ounces of beef stock into 3 smaller pans. the chef uses 8 ounces of beef stock from one of the smaller pans, and 34 ounces of beef stock remain in that smaller pan. write an equation that correctly represents the number of ounces of beef stock, s, that the chef initially prepares.

9. a chef prepares and evenly divides s ounces of beef stock into 3 smaller pans. the chef uses 8 ounces of beef stock from one of the smaller pans, and 34 ounces of beef stock remain in that smaller pan. write an equation that correctly represents the number of ounces of beef stock, s, that the chef initially prepares.

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find the amount in one small pan

Let the amount in one small pan be (x). We know that (x - 8=34), so (x = 34 + 8=42) ounces.

Step2: Relate to the initial amount (s)

Since the initial amount (s) is divided evenly into 3 pans and each pan has (x) ounces, we have (s=3x). Substituting (x = 42) (from Step 1) into the equation, we get (s = 3\times(34 + 8))

Answer:

(s=3\times(34 + 8))
