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 ounc

es 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.

50 points i need to know how to plot these
svetlana [45]

x is time and y is pencils that you have

'starts with 90' so at x=0, plot y=90

'gives away 15 every hour' so for every 1 hour, move 15 down on y

so at x=1, do 90-15=75 pencils

at x=2, do 75-15=60 pencils

etc

until you get to

x=6, do 15-15=0 pencils then stop because you can't give away 15 pencils when you have 0

see attachment for plot

I don't know how your segment tool works so you do it

if it draws a line, you only need 2 points, just do when x=0, y=90 and when x=6, y=0

Slove algebraically<br><br>3x - 4y = -24<br>x +4y=8<br>​
Vanyuwa [196]

Solve algebrically 3x - 4y = -24 and x + 4y = 8 is x = -4 and y = 3

<u>Solution:</u>

We have been given two equations which are as follows:

3x - 4y = -24   ----- eqn 1

x + 4y = 8   -------- eqn 2              

We have been asked to solve the equations which means we have to find the value of ‘x’ and ‘y’.

We rearrange eqn 2 as follows:

x + 4y = 8

x = 8 - 4y  ------eqn 3

Now we substitute eqn 3 in eqn 1 as follows:

3(8 - 4y) -4y = -24

24 - 12y - 4y = -24

-16y = -48

y = 3

Substitute "y" value in eqn 3. Therefore the value of ‘x’ becomes:

x = 8 - 4(3)

x = 8 - 12  = -4

Hence on solving both the given equations we get the value of x and y as -4 and 3 respectively.
