Answer:

105

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question:

<em>"Ejay bought a pack of peanut bars from the neighborhood store. He ate 1/3 of the context immediately. He gave 20 pieces to his sister Aileen. Then he ate 1/2 of the remaining bars. If he has 25 peanut bars left after, how many bars did the pack originally contain?"</em>

<em />

Let original amount be x

He ate 1/3 immediately so remaining

x - 1/3x

He gave 20 to Aileen, remaining:

(x - 1/3x) - 20

He ate half of remaining, remaining now:

(x - 1/3x) - 20 - 1/2((x - 1/3x) - 20)

Now, he has 25 left. So the previous equation is equal to 25. Then we solve for x:

(x - \frac{1}{3}x) - 20 - \frac{1}{2}[(x - \frac{1}{3}x) - 20)]=25\\\frac{2}{3}x-20-\frac{1}{2}[\frac{2}{3}x-20]=25\\\frac{2}{3}x-20-\frac{1}{3}x+10=25\\\frac{1}{3}x=35\\x=\frac{35}{\frac{1}{3}}\\x=105

The pack originally had 105 bars

Find the values of x and y?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't see a y in the diagram.

The 3 angles x, 90 and (4x - 10) lie on the line EF and sum to 180°, so

x + 90 + 4x - 10 = 180, that is

5x + 80 = 180 ( subtract 80 from both sides )

5x = 100 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 20

A teacher runs a total of 48 city blocks in a rectangular pattern. If the width of the run is 3x and the length of the run is 5x
Ghella [55]

Answer:

P = 16x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle

= 2(L + W)

Given

L = 5x + 4 and

W = 3x

Therefore

Perimeter = 2(5x + 4 + 3x)

Rearrange the expression

P = 2(5x + 3x + 4)

P = 2(8x + 4)

Now expand the bracket

P = 2 x 8x + 2 x 4

P = 16x + 8
