The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
D. No, because the differential equation does not have constant coefficients.
Step-by-step explanation:
The undetermined coefficient method cannot be applied to non homogeneous variables. The differential equation does not have constant variables therefore the method of undetermined superposition can not be applied. To complete a solution of non homogeneous equation the particular solution must be added to the homogeneous equation.
Answer:
There is no greatest power of 3 that is divisible of 100.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since any number can always be divisible of 100, there would be no greatest power of 3 that is divisible of 100 since the powers can go on and on forever without stopping, and all powers of 3 is able to be divided by 100.
