use the substitution method

3ab+5b-6

3(-1)(3)+5(3)-6

Mutiply 3(-1)(3) first

3(-1)(3)= -3*3= -9

-9+5(3)-6

then mutiply

5(3)= 15

-9+15-6

= 6-6

= 0

the table shows the types of popcorn buckets sold at a concession station for one day. what percent of the buttered popcorn buck

vlada-n [284]

Hi there! The answer is about 23%

First we need to find the total amount of buttered popcorn sold. This is 182 + 140 + 97 = 419 buckets.

To find the percentage of the buttered popcorn buckets that were large, we use the following formula:
$\frac{part}{total} \times 100\%$

Filling in this formula brings us to our answer:
$\frac{97}{419} \times 100\% = 23.15$
Hence, the answer is about 23%

The value of x-y is negative, and x and y are both positive. What can you conclude about the values of x

Stolb23 [73]

Well for two positive numbers subtracted to equal a negative number, the first number must have a value that is less than the second number. (Ex. 3-4= -1) In this case, you can conclude that x is less than y! (x<y)
