Part A:

If 25% is dark chocolate and the rest is milk chocolate then, dark + milk = all

25% + milk chocolate= 100%

Subtract 25% from both sides and 100 minus 25 is 75 so, milk chocolate is 75% of all the chocolate.

Now, if there is 3 pounds of milk chocolate then 3 pounds= 75%.

You would divide by 3 so, 75 divided by 3 is 25.

1 pound or lb= 25% which us the amount of dark chocolate that there is.

Now, we know that there milk chocolate is 75% and dark chocolate is 25% of all the chocolate.

M= pounds of milk chocolate

D= dark chocolate

Equation: m divided by d or m/d= 75 divided by 25 or 75/25 or m/d=3 and m=3

3 divided by d or 3/d=3

3=3d

D=1

Part B:

There is 1 pound of dark chocolate in the candy.

Hope this helps! :)

What is the product in simplest form x^2+9x+18/x+2 times x^2-3x-10/x^2+2x-24

german

$\dfrac{x^2+9x+18}{x+2}\cdot\dfrac{x^2-3x-10}{x^2+2x-24}=\dfrac{x^2+6x+3x+18}{x+2}\cdot\dfrac{x^2-5x+2x-10}{x^2+6x-4x-24}\\\\=\dfrac{x(x+6)+3(x+6)}{x+2}\cdot\dfrac{x(x-5)+2(x-5)}{x(x+6)-4(x+6)}$

$=\dfrac{(x+6)(x+3)}{x+2}\cdot\dfrac{(x-5)(x+2)}{(x+6)(x-4)}=\dfrac{(x+3)(x-5)}{x-4}\\\\=\dfrac{x^2-5x+3x-15}{x-4}=\dfrac{x^2-2x-15}{x-4}$

AB = 2x-5 BC = 6x AC = 27

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

correct answer is x = 2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

AB = 2x-5

BC = 6x

AC = 27

Hence,

=> AC = AB + BC

=> 27 = 2x-5 + 6x

=> 27 = 8x-5

=> 27-5 = 8x

=> 22 = 8x

=> 22/8 = x

=> 11/4 = x

2.75 = x

Write the equation of the sphere in standard form. x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + 2x − 4y − 6z = 22

madam [21]

The equation $x^{2} +y^{2} +z^{2} +2x-4y-6z=22$ in standard form looks like $(x+1)^{2} +(y-2)^{2} +(z-3)^{2} =(6)^{2}$ .

Given equation of sphere be $x^{2} +y^{2} +z^{2} +2x-4y-6z=22$ .

We are required to express the given equation in the standard form of the equation of sphere.

Equation is basically relationship between two or more variables that are expressed in equal to form. Equation of two variables look like ax+by=c. It may be linear equation,quadratic equation, cubic equation or many more depending on the powers of variables. The standard form of the equation of sphere looks like $x^{2} +y^{2} +z^{2} =r^{2}$ .
