X=Amount of skittles at the start.
Nasir ate 10 skittles and Seif ate 6 skittles so the number of skittles they had(x) - how many they both ate equals : 2/3;

(x-10)/(x-6)=2/3
3(x-10)=2(x-6)
3x-30=2x-12
x-30=-12
x=18

They each started with 18 skilttles.

Yati has a coin box containing some coins. 40% of the coins are 20-cent coins and the rest are 50-cent coins.
lana66690 [7]

The fraction that should be removed is 1/5.

<h3>How to calculate the fraction?</h3>

It should be noted that from the information, 40% of the coins are 20-cent coins and the rest are 50-cent coins. Those that are 50 cent will be:

= 100 - 40%

= 60%

The fraction that's should be removed will be:

= 2/5 - x = 1/5

x = 2/5 - 1/5

x = 1/5

The fraction that should be removed is 1/5.

Which of the following is true of the discriminant for the graph below?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

<u>Option C. It is zero</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph represents a quadratic equation

The quadratic equation has the form ⇒a x² + b x + c

The discriminant of the quadratic equation is D = b² - 4ac

From the discriminant of the quadratic equation, we can know the type of roots of the quadratic equation.

  1. If D > 0 ⇒ Two real roots.
  2. If D = 0 ⇒ one real roots
  3. If D < 0 ⇒ Two imaginary roots.

The roots of the quadratic equation are the x-intercepts of the function.

As shown at the figure, the quadratic equation has only one point of intersection with the x-axis

So, the function has only one root ⇒ D = 0

So, the discriminant of the quadratic equation = 0

<u>The answer is option C. It is zero</u>
