Answer:

A- X= 20÷5-3

B- 20÷5=4; 4-3=1

C- X=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, well we have to work backwards. 20 cookies, and she makes 5 bags. We need to find out what 'x' means. To do that, we take 20 cookies and divide it by 5. 4 cookies. Then we want to take 3 cookies out of each bag to find out how many cookies she first put in. 1 cookie.

Let's check:

bag 1:

o (one cookie)

bag 2:

o (one cookie)

bag 3:

o (one cookie)

bag 4:

o (one cookie)

bag 5:

o (one cookie)

Now we have 15 cookies left. Now let's put 3 in each:

bag 1:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 2:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 3:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 4:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 5:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

Now we have no cookies left, and we put 4 cookies in each. (o representing the first cookie, v representing the next three cookies)

Answer:

a. 20 = 5x + 15

b. x = 1

c. X represents the number of cookies before three more were added to each bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 20 is your total, or y. 5 is the amount of bags, with "x" cookies. Three more cookies are added to EACH bag, so 3*5 is 15. If you do it in slope-intercept form, the equation is 20(y)= 5x + 15 (added cookies).

b. 20 = 5x + 15

20 - 15 = 5x + 15 - 15

5 = 5x

5/5 = x

x = 1

c. Remember that x is the amount of cookies in each bag before three more were added. If you add the amount before more were added (1), and the amount added (3), you get 4. Then, you multiply the total amount of cookies in each bag and the number of bags (4*5), you get 20, which the problem says is the total number of cookies in all the bags.

hope this helps :)

85 is greater than the difference of x and63
miss Akunina [59]
85 > x-63

This is how you would arrange the problem,


isolate the X by adding 63 to 85 to get 148,
Flip the inequality to <

resulting in X<148.

Why do I think I'm ugly
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Ok listen here

Step-by-step explanation:

You are like the earth.

On the inside is a bright center and lava. When lava comes to the surface as a volcano, many people think it's ugly and dangerous, but other people think that it's beautiful.

We all know that a lot of people think the surface of the earth is ugly, and they have given up hope that people can change it, but the truth is that, the world is beautiful and we can change it.

You are beautiful and the people on your earth are represented as your brain. Your brain needs to tell you to look at yourself and to say that you are beautiful. You can change your mindset to tell you that you don't care what other people say, all that matters is what you say.

Always remember that :)

Write the equation in slope intercept form. Then, match the equation with the correct graph.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Graph A:  y = (1/2)x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x−4y=8 in slope-intercept form is -4y = -2x + 8, or y = 1/2x - 2

The slope of this line is 1/4 and the y-intercept is -2.  This is represented by Graph A.
