Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of cotton candy = A

Number of blue cotton candy = 27 cones

Percentage of blue cotton candy = 75%

Therefore, the total number of cotton candy is calculated as:

27/A × 100 = 75%

2700/A = 75

Cross Multiply

75A = 2700

A = 2700/75

A = 36

Therefore, the amount of total cotton candy that we have is 36.

True [87]

Answer:

x1 = t, x2 = -t and x3 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation

x1 + x2 + x3 = 0 .... 1

x1 + x2 + 9x3 = 0 .... 2

Subtract both equation

x3 - 9x3 = 0

-8x3 = 0

x3 = 0

Substitute x3 = 0 into equation 1

x1 + x2 + 0 = 0

x1+x2 = 0

x1 = -x2

Let t = x1

t = -x2

x2 = -t

Hence x1 = t, x2 = -t and x3 = 0

Help me please with explanation
8_murik_8 [283]

Step-by-step explanation:

angle AOB = x+3

angle AOC = 2x + 11

angle BOC = 4x-7

angle AOC = angle AOB + angle BOC

=> 2x +11 = (x+3) + (4x-7)

2x +11 = 5x - 4

=> 3x = 15

x = 5

subst x = 5 in the given formulas

angle AOB = x +3 =8

angle AOC = 2x + 11 = 21

angle BOC = 4x - 7 = 13
