Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of m&ms Garry has be g

number of m&ms Larry has be l

Number of m&ms Jerry has be j

Since Gary has TWICE as Larry, we can write:

g = 2l

Also, Jerry has THRICE as Larry, we can write:

j = 3l

Together, they have 108, thus, we can write:

g + l + j = 108

Putting 1st and 2nd equation in 3rd, we can solve for Larry first. Shown below:

g + l + j = 108\\2l+l+3l=108\\6l=108\\l=\frac{108}{6}\\l=18

Larry has 18. To find Gary's number, we can use the fact g = 2l, so

g = 2 * 18 = 36

Gary has 36 m&ms

  • Vertex Form: y = a(x - h)^2 + k, with (h,k) as the vertex.

To convert it into vertex form, we are going to be completing the square. Firstly, subtract 56 on both sides: y-56=2x^2-32x

Next, factor out the GCF, or greatest common factor, of the right side. To find the GCF, list the factors of both terms and the greatest one they share is their GCF. In this case, the GCF is 2: y-56=2(x^2-16x)

Next, we want to make what's inside the parentheses a perfect square. To find the constant of the perfect square, divide the x term by 2 and square the quotient. In this case:

-16 ÷ 2 = -8, (-8)² = 64

So you're gonna have to add 64 to the inside of the parentheses. To cancel this out, you will need to add to the other side the product of 64 and 2 (since 64 is inside the parentheses), which is 128: y+72=2(x^2-16x+64)

Next, factor the polynomial inside the parentheses: y+72=2(x-8)^2

Next, subtract 72 on both sides and your vertex form is y=2(x-8)^2-72

Now looking at this vertex form, the vertex is (8,-72), which means that <u>the x-coordinate of the vertex is 8.</u>

Calculate the mean number of students per class at watch school. Write your answers in sentences that explain what the means rep
Tpy6a [65]
To find the mean you add all the numbers then divide the sum by how many numbers there are :

1)Ford School
   
21+19+20=60

there are 3 numbers in the equation so you divide 60 by 3 :

60÷3=20

the mean for Ford School is 20

2)Carter School

41+36+37=114

there are 3 numbers in the equation so you divide 114 by 3 :

114÷3=38

the mean for Carter School is 38

hope this helps

What are the steps for adding and subtracting mixed numbers with unlike denominators
Valentin [98]
Well, there are different ways to do this if you are really familiar with fractions, but "officially" :P

1) convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.

rule:  a b/c = (ac+b)/c

2)  make all fractions have a common denominator...

a/b+c/d

(a/b)(d/d)+(c/d)(b/b)

(ad/bd)+(cb/bd)

3)

The simplify your final answer with greatest common denominator or convert back to mixed number if needed...

What is the volume of the figure below, which is composed of two cubes with side lengths of 9 units?
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

C. 1458 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

one cubes side length is 9. The only side that changes is the length since the size is doubled so instead of it 9 it would be 18.

V= L × W × H

= 18 × 9 × 9

= 1,458

hope this helped youuu
