Answer:

48 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

5:2:4

Sarah: 5

Natasha:2

Richard:4

To find out how many sweets Richard got, we need to use 60 as the lcm. Since, we have a definite constant of 60 we need to divide it by the presiding ratio.

60/5 = 12

That means for a ratio of 1, everyone in the group recieves 12.

Now, we plug it in for each of the members.

5x = Sarah

2x = Natasha

4x = Richard

Sarah = 60 sweets

Natasha = 24 sweets

Richard = 48 sweets

Which property explains why these two expressions are equal?

ratelena [41]

Re-written, I believe the equation is:

(W+23)+5=W+(23+5)

With this, the parenthesis have nothing multiplying into it, so we can drop the parenthesis to get:

W+23+5=W+23+5
Which is the same thing.

So I'd assume it is the Associative property, because you are combining the like terms of 23 and 5.

Hope this helps!

-7c+9=c+1 If you could also show how you did it i would appreciate it

Step2247 [10]

-7c+9=c+1 (subtract c on both sides)
-8c+9=1 (subtract 9 on both sides)
-8c=-8 (divide by -8 on both sides to get c by its self)
c=1
your answer is 1.
