Mathematics

First, we model two equations that satisfy the problem. Let x be the number of sweets in the first jar, and y the number of sweets in the second jar.
First equation:
(x-20)/1 = (y+20)/2 
or
(x-20)/(y+20) = 1/2

Second equation:
[(x-20)+60]/3 = [(y+20)-60]/1
or 
(x+40) = 3(y-40)

Expressing the first equation in terms of y, we have:
y = 2x - 60

Plugging it in to the second equation:
(x+40) = 3[(2x-60) - 40]
5x = 340
x = 68

y = 2(68)-60 = 76

The first jar originally had 68 sweets and the second jar originally had 76 sweets.

Pavel [41]
The answer is: 15

Because if for every 5 c cookies there is 3 oatmeal cookies, we can add 5+3=8. 40 divided by 8= 5. 5 times 3 equals 15. That’s why the answer is 15

Write -12 in the improper fraction form.
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

\frac{-12}{1}

Step-by-step explanation:

An Improper Fraction has a top number larger than (or equal to) the bottom number.

To convert a whole number -12 into an improper fraction we can divide the whole number by one to turn it into a temporary fraction.

\frac{-12}{1}

Also we could multiply and divide -12 by another number greater than one, for example:

\frac{-12*2}{1*2} = \frac{-24}{2}

There are several ways we can write -12 in the improper fraction form.

What’s different about solving inequalities when you have to multiply or divide by a negative number? Can you explain why a spec
Sergeu [11.5K]
Alright, let's take an example. 1 is less than 2, so we can write it as 1<2. However, if we multiplied both sides by -1 without changing anything else, we get -1<-2, but -1 is greater than -2 because it is less negative, so the correct way of writing it would be -1>-2. Therefore, since a number that is less positive than another becomes less negative (and therefore higher) when both are multiplied by -1, we have to change the side of the inequality
