You started with a total of 28 muffins

<h3>How to determine the amount you started with?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Proportion carried away = 16 of the total muffins

Proportion carried away = 4/7 of the total muffins

The above parameters implies that

4/7 of the total muffins = 16

Represent the amount you started with x

So, we have the following representation

4/7 of x = 16

Express as products

4/7x = 16

Make x the subject

x = 7 * 16/4

Evaluate

x = 28

Hence, the total number of muffins is 28

23 + 8m + 4n - 5m - 27

mylen [45]

Answer:

$-4 + 3m + 4n$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you are combining like terms, meaning doing equations to numbers that fit with only each other.

So we should start on the number without variables:

23 and 27

Match them up together and you should find your first equation:

23 - 7

==> -4

So we should have -4 + 8m + 4n - 5m

Now we should combine the numbers with the variable of m:

8m and 5m

Match them up together and you should find your first equation:

8m - 5m

==> 3m

So we should now have -4 + 3m + 4n

Since there are no other variables of n, we are all done:

-4 + 3m + 4n is your final answer

HELP! I am confused since the -5 was added, so would it be the slope or would -7 be the slope?

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

slope = 35; y-intercept = -45

Step-by-step explanation:

Function f(x) is written in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

f(x) = -7x + 9

You compare it with

f(x) = mx + b, and you see that m, the slope, is -7, and b, the y-intercept is 9.

Now we deal with function h(x).

h(x) = -5(-7x + 9)

This is not written in the y = mx + b form, but we can put it in that form by distributing the -5.

h(x) = 35x - 45

Now, h(x) is written in the y = mx + b form. We see clearly that m = 35, so the slope of function h is 35. We also see that b, the y-intercept is -45.

Answer: slope = 35; y-intercept = -45
