X=lottie's aples

give 1/4 of them to fred
origianly had 4/4, but gave 1/4 away so now has (3/4)x
eats 5 of them
(3/4)x-5
now she has 7 more than fred (fred has (1/4)x

so

(3/4)x-5 is 7 more than (1/4)x
(3/4)x-5=7+(1/4)x
add 5 to both sides
(3/4)x=12+(1/4)x
minus (1/4)x from both sides
(2/4)x=12
(1/2)x=12
times 2/1 both sides
2/2x=24
x=24

she had 24 to begin with

The answer is B. First turn all the results from the spelling competition into fractions (or ratios).
Megan: 45/50 = 9/10
Justin: 27/30 = 9/10
Fernando: 84/120 = 7/10
Then, use this information to find which answer is correct.
Have a nice day! :)

The answer to this problem for my hw
Darya [45]
Okay. So, Marianna has 16 yards of fabric. Subtract 2 2/3 from 16, because those are the leftovers. 16 - 2 2/3 is 13 1/3. 13 1/3 / 3 1/3 is 4. Mariana made 4 pieces of 3 1/3 yard fabric. The answer is C: 4.

A set of four cards consists of two red cards and two black cards. The cards are shuffled thoroughly, and I am dealt two cards.
Delvig [45]
25% because if you have 4 cards which would equal 100% and you are dealt 2 you have a 25% chance of getting any of the 4. (25x4=100)
But, if you are talking about probability of color it would be 50% because if you have 2 red cards and the total deck is 4 cards, then that is already half of the deck. And if you have 2 black cards then that makes up the other half. but if you are talking individually like Red 1 and Red 2 and Black 1 and Black 2 separating them would create a 25% probability. So, x= 25% (infivudually) or 50% (by color)

Find the factorization of the polynomial
makvit [3.9K]
There is only one real root, at x=-2, so the polynomial describing this parabola has factors of (x+2) with multiplicity 2. The y-intercept tells you the vertical stretch is 1.

The factorization is y = (x +2)².
