Answer:
C. 70/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are 5 people in total and 70 pieces of candy. To find how much candy each person gets we can do 70/5.
1.
5c-7(2c-4)
5c-14c+28
-9c+ 28
2.
3(m+1) + 2m
3m+3+2m
5m+3
24 feet
Set up a ratio of object height to shadow length.
So x/32=6/8
8(4)=32 so 6(4) would be 24.
Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
5 = 1/2(x) - 3
Add 3 to both sides.
8 = 1/2(x)
Rewrite for clarity.
1/2(x) = 8
x/2 = 8
Multiply both sides by 2.
x = 16.
Proof:
5 = 1/2(x) - 3
Substitute variable.
5 = 1/2(16) - 3
Multiply 1/2 and 16.
5 = 8 - 3
Subtract 3 from 8.
5 = 5
Based on the numbers we have we can assume that she saves 3 times more each week than the last (1*3=3, 3*3=9).
Following this trend we would multiply the amount she saved the third week ($9) by 3 to get $27 for the fourth week.
Then, we would multiply the amount she saved the fourth week ($27) by 3 to get $81 for the fifth week.
Finally, to figure out how much she saved in the 5 weeks, we need to add each value up to get 1+3+9+27+81= $121 saved in 5 weeks
