A candy shop sells a box of chocolates for $30. It has $29 worth of chocolates plus $1 for the box. The box includes two kinds o

f candy: caramels and truffles. Lita knows how much the different types of candies cost per pound and how many pounds are in a box. She said, "If x is the number of pounds of caramels included in the box and y is the number of pounds of truffles in the box, then I can write the following equations based on what I know about one of these boxes":
x+y=3

8x+12y+1=30

What does the term 12y in the second equation represent?



12y represents the value of caramels


12y represents the value of the truffles.


12y represents the number of pounds of caramels


12y represents the total amount spent

I would say that it it "12y represents the value of the truffles." Imean it literally says it in the question but here you go.

Write the inverse of the conditional statement. If a shape is a rhombus, then it has four congruent sides.
Vaselesa [24]

You write the inverse of a conditional statement by negating both the hypothesis and the conclusion.

So, the inverse of

p\implies q

is

\lnot p \implies \lnot q

So, in your case, the inverse of your statement is

If a shape is not a rhombus, then it doesn't have four congruent sides.

Please help me with these math questions!

Hi there!

To solve both of you questions, you will need to use the cross product method :

<u>Finding "x" :</u>

\frac{2scoops}{1/2gallon} = \frac{4scoops}{xgallon}


So you have to do :

(4 × \frac{1}{2}) ÷ 2 = x gallon


4 times \frac{1}{2} is the same thing as 4 times 0.5, which equals 2.


2 ÷ 2 = x gallon

1 = x gallon


So the amout for x would be : 1 gallon


<u>Finding "y" :</u>

You could do the exact same method as we did for finding "x", but the easiest and fastest way to get our answer is just by multiplying the amout we got for "x" by 2 because we are putting 8 scoops instead of 4 for "x" (and 4 times 2 = 8) :

1 gallon × 2 = y

2 gallons = y


So your answer is : The amount for y would be : 2 gallons


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
