Answer:

The possible value of X are;

15, 30, 45, 60 etc

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are

Number of chocolates Tanmay had = X

Number of chocolates Tanmay gave to Akash = 1/3 × X

Number of chocolates Tanmay gave to Sharad = 1/5 × X

Whereby 3 and 5 are factors of X, therefore;

3 × 5 = 15 is the lowest single factor of X

The possible values of X starting from the lowest factor are given as follows;

15 × 1 = 15

15 × 2 = 30

15 × 3 = 45

15 × 4 = 60

Hence, the possible value of X are the arithmetic progression a + (n - 1)×d

Where:

a = 15

n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...

d = 15

Which includes;

15, 30, 45, 60

What’s The Answer Of This? NO BOTS
Oxana [17]

Answer:

B is your answer: Angle pair "MTS" should be 107 and "STN" should be 73

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to do 180-73 because "s" is unknown.


That should be 107 degrees.

Angle pair "MTS" should be 107 and "STN" should be 73

This is due to alternate interior angles, same side angles, and congruency properties.

Write 5 5/8 as a improper fraction<br> A. 33/8<br> B. 45/8<br> C. 40/8<br> D. 35/8
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

I believe this would be B

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I do improper fractions is called the 'boot'

It is where you take the whole number and the denominator and circle both of them so it kind of looks like a boot and you multiply those together.

So 5 * 8= 40 then you add your numerator to that which gets you 45, and you keep the denominator the same

So you end up with 45/8

Sorry if its a little confusing

Hope this helps :)

Solve the following equation for x<br><br> 5(x - 1) = -45
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

solution: x = -8

Step by step:

1) 5x-5+5 = -45+5 : Add 5 to both sides

2) 5x= -40 : Simplify

3) 5x/5 = -40/5 : Divide both sides

Hope that helps
