Reading the question carefully, "<span>He draws the diameter of the circle through center P using a straight edge. Next he opens his compass to a width equivalent to the radius of the circle." - that implies that Mateo is still in the process of drawing the circle by which the equilateral is inscribed to.

The next steps should be:
*He should draw the upper and lower arcs using the compass opened to a width equivalent to the radius of the sircle.
*Make a vertical diameter using centroid P as basis.
*Draw two right triangles facing the opposite directions using the top most point by which the vertical diameter of the circle touches the top most circumference of the circle.

Doing these steps, Mateo will be able to draw an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle.

Answer:

-20x³ + 0x² + 15x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

I would have said it the other way.

"Multiply each term in the top row by -5."

 4x³ +  0x   -  3x +  4

<u>×(-5</u>)  <u>×(-5</u>)  <u>×(-5)</u>  <u>×(-5) </u>

-20x³ + 0x² + 15x -20

The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.

"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":

The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.

"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."

The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.

Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.

That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.

0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x

Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.

0.75x + 1.5 = x

-0.25x = -1.5

x = 6

The total amount of candies was 6 lb.

The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.

The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.

Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
