At the candy store, M&Ms and Skittles are sold for $0.25 per ounce. Kevita puts some M&Ms in a bag and then added 8 ounces of Skittles. The total cost for her bag of candy is $7.50.


Kevita and Mary write the equation 0.25(x+8)=7.50 to represent the situation, where x represents the number of ounces of M&Ms.


Kevita says that to solve this equation, you first distribute the 0.25 through the parentheses to get0.25x+2=6.50.

Mary says that to solve this equation, you first divide by 0.5 on both sides to get x+8=30


Do you agree with either Kevita or Mary? Why? Finish solving the problem to find out how many ounces of M&Ms Kevita put in her bag of candy.

Answer:

To eliminate y- terms

Multiply equ(1) by 3 and equ(2) by -4

To eliminate y- terms

Multiply (1) by 3 and (2) by -5

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 4y = 28 (1)

3x - 3y = 30 (2)

To eliminate y- terms

Multiply equ(1) by 3 and equ(2) by -4

15x-12y=84

-12x+12y= -120

Add equ (3) and (4)

3x=84-120

3x=-36

x=-36/3

= -12

x=-12

To eliminate x- terms

5x-4y=28

3x-3y=30

Multiply (1) by 3 and (2) by -5

15x-12y=84

-15x+15y=-150

Add the new equation

3y= -66

y= -22

[tex]2\times 1\times 3 \times a \times a \times a+b\times 45[/tex]

[tex]6a^3+b \times45[/tex]

[tex]=6a^3+45b[/tex]

Answer:

6a^3 + 45b

Step-by-step explanation:

=2a × a × 3a + b × 45

=2a × 1a × 3a + b × 45

=2 × 1 × 3 × a × a × a + b × 45

=6a^3 + b × 45

= 6a^3 + 45b

Answer:

-5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Because y increases by a factor of 2 every time x goes up by 1, the opposite happens when x decreases by 1. This means that when x = 0, y = 5 so the answer is b.

Applying the points and finding the equation, it is found that point (0,5) is also on the graph, option b.

The exponential equation has the following format:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

Point (1,10) means that when [tex]x = 1, y = 10[/tex], thus:

[tex]ab = 10[/tex]

Point (2,20) means that when [tex]x = 2, y = 20[/tex], thus:

[tex]ab^2 = 20[/tex]

From the first equation:

[tex]a = \frac{10}{b}[/tex]

Replacing on the second:

[tex]\frac{10}{b}b^2 = 20[/tex]

[tex]10b = 20[/tex]

[tex]b = \frac{20}{10}[/tex]

[tex]b = 2[/tex]

So

[tex]a = \frac{10}{b} = \frac{10}{2} = 5[/tex]

Then, the equation is:

[tex]y = 5(2)^x[/tex]

When [tex]x = 0, y = 5(2)^0 = 5[/tex], thus point (0,5) is also on the graph, which means that option b is correct.

Answer:

13 = 15(x) - 23

x = 12/5 or 2 2/5

Answer:

The triangle's area is 12 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by drawing the requested points A = (-4, -3) and B = (0, -3), which we notice are located horizontally on the line of y = -3 and separated 4 units from each other (see red dots in the attached image).

Then we look for a point over the line y = 3 that is equidistant from points A and B (so we place it at the point (-2, 3)) and name it "C".

Now, the triangle ABC defined by the three points has base = 4 units, and height = 6 units (from the line y = -3 to the line y = 3).

Then recall that the area of a triangle is defined by the product of the triangle's base times its height, divided by two:

[tex]Area=\frac{base\,*\,height}{2} \\Area=\frac{4\,*\,6}{2} \\Area = 12[/tex]

So the triangle's area is 12 square units.

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the Pythagorean theorem, you know that the square of the two legs of a right triangle will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse. Conversely, the square of one of the legs will be equal to the square of the other leg subtracted from the square of the hypotenuse. Therefore:

[tex]x^2=10^2-8^2 \\\\x^2=100-64\\\\x^2=36\\\\x=6[/tex]

Hope this helps!

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras theorem

10^2 = 8^2 + x^2

100= 64 + x^2

X^2 =100-64

X^2= 36

[tex]x = \sqrt{36} \\ x = 6[/tex]

Linear Function

Step-by-step explanation:

8x-3y = -2

-3y = 8x-2

3y = -8x+2

y = [tex]\frac{-8x+2}{3}[/tex]

y = [tex]-\frac{8}{3}x+\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Linear Function

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two steps are for the purpose of eliminating fractions.  Doing so results in 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 2), which is to be solved for x.

Perform the indicated multiplication, obtaining:

8x - 20 = 9x - 18.

Then combine like terms:  -2 = x, or

x = -2.

To complete the formal check, substitute -2 for x in the first equation.  This results in:

(1/3)(-4 - 5) = (3/4)(-2 -2), or

        -3       =        -3

... which is obviously true.

In the diagram of a circle O, what is the measure of ∠ABC?

27°

54°

108°

120°

m(minor arc [tex]\widehat {AC}[/tex]) = 126°

m(major arc [tex]\widehat {AC}[/tex]) = 234°

By the intersecting tangents theorem,

If the two tangents of a circle intersect each other outside the circle, measure of angle formed between them is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

m∠ABC = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[m(\text {major arc{AC})}-m(\text{minor arc} {AC})][/tex]

Answer:

x< -8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the inequality, we must get x isolated.

-1/2x>4

We have to perform the inverse operation to both sides. x is being multiplied by -1/2. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by -1/2.

-1/2x / -1/2 > 4/ -1/2

When dividing by fraction, you can also multiply by the reciprocal.

To find the reciprocal, flip the numerator and the denominator.

-1/2–> -2/1

-2/1 *-1/2x > 4* -2/1

x> 4* -2/1

When multiplying or dividing by a negative number in an inequality, you must flip the inequality sign.

x < 4* -2/1

x < 4*-2

x< -8

Answer:

(1, - 12 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the graph of f(x) then f(x) + c represents a vertical translation of f(x)

• If c > 0 then a shift up of c units

• If c < 0 then a shift down of c units

Thus f(x) - 4 represents a shift down of 4 units, that is

(1, - -8 ) → (1, - 8 - 4 ) → (1, - 12 )

Given that a rectangle has an area of 345 square millimeters and a base of 15 millimeters, find the height.

Area of a Rectangle = b x h

So, to find the height, we would reverse it by dividing the area by the base.

Work:

345/15 = 23

So, 23 would be our height.

Thus, the height of the rectangle is 23 millimeters.

Answer:

23 millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be found using the following formula.

a=b*h

We know that the area is 345 square millimeters and the base is 15 millimeters, but we don't know that the height is.

a=345

b=15

Substitute these variables into the formula.

345=15*h

We want to find out what the height, or h is.  In order to do this, we have to get h by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Keep in mind, everything done to one side, has to be done to the other.

h is being multiplied by 15. The opposite of multiplication is division, so divide both sides by 15.

345/15=15*h/15

345/15=h

23=h

Add appropriate units. In this case, the units are millimeters.

h=23 millimeters

The height of the rectangle is 23 millimeters.
