Answer: 13 people (I think)

Step-by-step explanation:

I didn't use a set equation to solve the problem, but I added 1+2+3+4... (and so on) until I got a number that was over 100. When I got to 14, the number reached 105, meaning that 13 people were able to get the number of chocolates that they desired. The fourteenth person was short 5 chocolates.

Please feel free to ask me any further questions you have! Have a wonderful day!

If there is a maximum of 4,000 hours of labor available per month and 300 ping-pong balls (x1) or 125 wiffle balls (x2) can be p
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

b. 300x1 + 125x2 < = 4,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum of 4,000 hours

This means that the the total amount of labor has to be of at most 4,000, that is:

T \leq 4000

300 ping-pong balls (x1) or 125 wiffle balls (x2) can be produced per hour of labor

The total amount of labor is:

T = 300x1 + 125x2

Uniting the two equations:

T \leq 4000

300x1 + 125x2 \leq 4000

And thus the correct answer is given by option b.

Find an equation of a line that has a slope 7 and passes through the point 3,11
choli [55]
You’re given that m=7 (slope is 7), so setup the slope-intercept form with that info: y = 7x + b.

Now you need to find b. Plug in (3,11) for x and y, x=3 and y=11.

11 = 7*3 + b

Notice the only variable left is b, so you’ll find b this way.

11 = 21 + b and then subtract 21 from both sides:

11 - 21 = b

-10 = b

Plug that back into the equation and you have y = 7x -10

The diagram shows part of a regular polygon shaded in green.The interior angle is (28x+4)°.The exterior angle is (5x+11)°.How ma
qwelly [4]

Answer:

10 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

(28x+4)°+(5x+11)°=180°

28x+5x+11°+4°=180°

33x+15°=180°

33x=180-15

33x=165°

X=5.

Interior =(28×5)+4=144°

Exterior=(5×5)+11°=36°

No. of sides=360°\exterior

360°\36

10.
