Answer:
8 pieces of candy
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the original amount of candy in the bowl to be 
.
It says that 20 pieces of candy were added, therefore there are 
pieces of candy in the bowl.
Half of the candy is gone, therefore 
pieces of candy are left in the bowl.
After half of the candy is gone, there are 14 pieces left, so we can say that 
Solve for :
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2y = 3 -2x
Rearrange the equation to slope-intercept form
y = -x + 3/2
Slope of line is 3/2.
If the perimeters are equal, you can form an equation to find x:
x + x + 12 + x + x + 12 = x + 11 + x + 11 + x + 16
4x + 24 = 3x + 38
- 3x
x + 24 = 38
- 24
x = 14
Now you can substitute the x value into the perimeter:
(4 × 14) + 24
56 + 24 = 80 cm
(3 × 14) + 38
42 + 38 = 80 cm
So the perimeter would be 80 cm.
I hope this helps!
D) 12x+9
the slope is 12 and the intercept is 9
