Answer:

Each person will be getting 2\frac{2}{5} pieces  of licorice

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have 12 pieces of licorice

To divide it equally among 5 people following formula will be used

Pieces to be given to each person = \frac{total\, pieces}{total\,people}

                                                           = =\frac{12}{5} \\2.4\\

So

Each person will be getting 2\frac{2}{5} pieces  of licorice

Annie needs $30 to buy a coat she has saved $12 and plans to work as a baby siter to earn $6 per hour which inequality shows the
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The answer would be B. 12 + 6n is greater than or equal to 30, so n is less than or equal to 3.

explanation:

I'm bad with explaining things, but I'll try my best to explain why this is the right answer.

12 + 6n ≥ 30, so n ≤ 3

let's start with the 12 at the beginning of the inequality, Annie already has $12, so the 12 in the inequality shows the amount of money she already has being added to the $6 per hour of babysitting she needs to do (n).

Now for the + 6n, the plus is there to show that the $12 Annie already has is being added to the 6n. The 6n then represents the $6 Annie makes each hour and the n represents how many hours she needs to babysit in order to get $30. The 6 is being multiplied by the amount of hours she needs to babysit to show how much money Annie would make. Then you add on the $12 she already has.

Annie then needs at least $30, but if she makes more than $30 then she will simply have more money than needed, therefore you use the greater than or equal to sign to show that she can have more money than just $30 after working.

I hope this helps, and sorry if my explanation is hard to understand lol.

Factor this trinomial completely.
zmey [24]
First you want to write 7x as a sum or difference: 15x-8x
Now, the expression would look like this: 10x^2+15x-8x-12
Next, factor out the 5x and -4 from the expression: 5x(2x+3)-4(2x+3)
Now, factor out the 2x+3 from the expression and you have your answer:
(2x+3)(5x-4)
