Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the total, which is 15. This crosses out A and B.

Also there are 3 x that makes a total of 15, (3x is x copied 3 times, not 3 + x), this crosses out D.

The only option left is C.

Aunty Joan packs a packet of sweets to Alice and Olivia. Alice and Olivia share sweets in the ratio 7:3. Alice gives 3 sweets to

aivan3 [116]

Initially, Alice had 28 sweets and Olivia 12 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation:

First assume that Aunty Joan has x number sweets.

Alice and Olivia shared the x sweets in a ration of 7:3, this means

Alice had 7/10 x sweets and Olivia had 3/10 sweets.

Alice gives 3 sweets to Olivia, Alice will remain with ;

$\frac{7}{10} x-3$

Then the new ratio changes to 5:3 which means Alice will have 5/8 x number of sweets.

Equate the number of sweets for Alice in the two cases, which is

$\frac{5}{8}x=\frac{7}{10} x-3\\ \\\frac{7}{10} x-\frac{5}{8} x=3\\$

$\frac{56x-50x}{80} =3\\\\\\\frac{6}{80} x=3\\\\\\6x=80*3\\\\\\x=240/6\\\\x=40$

So there were 40 sweets at first

Using the ratio of 7:3 then

Alice had 7/10 *40 = 28 sweets

Olivia had 3/10*40= 12 sweets

Alice gave Olivia 3 sweets, so she will remain with 28-3 =25 sweets. Olivia will now have 15 sweets.The new ratio will be 25:15 simplified as 5:3.

Which equation is parallel to the line LaTeX: y=\frac{1}{2}x+3y = 1 2 x + 3and passes through the point (10, -5)?

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

$Equation\ of\ line:\ y=\frac{1}{2}x-10$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Let\ the\ required\ equation\ is\ y=mx+c\\\\where\ m\ is\ the\ slope\ of\ the\ equation\ and\ c\ is\ y-intercept\\\\It\ is\ parallel\ to\ the\ equation\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+3\\\\Hence\ slope\ of\ these\ two\ lines\ will\ be\ same.\\\\Slope\ of\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+3\ is\ \frac{1}{2}\\\\Hence\ slope\ of\ y=mx+c\ is\ \frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow m=\frac{1}{2}\\\\Equation:y=\frac{1}{2}x+c\\\\Line\ passes\ through\ (10,-5).\ Hence\ this\ point\ satisfies\ the\ equation\ of\ line.\\\\-5=\frac{1}{2}\times 10+c$

$-5=-5+c\\\\c=-10$

$Equation\ of\ line:\ y=\frac{1}{2}x-10$
