Aunty Joan packs a packet of sweets to Alice and Olivia. Alice and Olivia share sweets in the ratio 7:3. Alice gives 3 sweets to
aivan3 [116]

Initially, Alice had 28 sweets and Olivia 12 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation:

First assume that Aunty Joan has x number sweets.

Alice and Olivia shared the x sweets in a ration of 7:3, this means

Alice had 7/10 x sweets and Olivia had 3/10 sweets.

Alice gives 3 sweets to Olivia, Alice will remain with ;

\frac{7}{10} x-3

Then the new ratio changes to 5:3 which means Alice will have 5/8 x number of sweets.

Equate the number of sweets for Alice in the two cases, which is

\frac{5}{8}x=\frac{7}{10} x-3\\ \\\frac{7}{10} x-\frac{5}{8} x=3\\

\frac{56x-50x}{80} =3\\\\\\\frac{6}{80} x=3\\\\\\6x=80*3\\\\\\x=240/6\\\\x=40

So there were 40 sweets at first

Using the ratio of 7:3 then

Alice had 7/10 *40 = 28 sweets

Olivia had 3/10*40= 12 sweets

Alice gave Olivia 3 sweets, so she will remain with 28-3 =25 sweets. Olivia will now have 15 sweets.The new ratio will be 25:15 simplified as 5:3.

True of False: (log x)^2=2log x. Explain your answer and show your work
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
False.
Only log(x^2)=2log(x)
For example, let x=10
(log(10))^2=1^2=1
yet 2log(10)=2*1=2

The sides of a parallelogram are 40 and 70 feet long,and the smaller angle has a measure of 36.Find the length of the longer dia
Mumz [18]

Answer:

105 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The longer diagonal is opposite the longer angle in the parallelogram.

The longer angle = 180 - 36 = 144 degrees. (Reason: he same side angles  are supplementary).

So, by the law of cosines:

x^ 2 = 40^2 + 70^2 - 2*40*70 cos 140    where x = the diagonal.

x^2 =  11030.50

x = 105.03 feet.
