5 0

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

How would the expression x^2-7 be rewritten using Difference of Squares? please someone help me.
kondor19780726 [428]
Every difference of squares problem can be factored as follows: a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b). So, all you need to do to factor these types of problems is to determine what numbers squares will produce the desired results.

Given right triangle JKL, what is the value of cos(L)?
Daniel [21]

First option is correct.

Since we have given that

JKL is a right triangle.

Length of JK = 12

Length of KL = 5

By Pythagoras theorem, we get that

JL^{2}=JK^{2}+ KL^{2}\\JL^{2}=12^{2}+ 5^{2} \\JL^{2}=144+25= 169\\JL=13

So, cos (L) would be

cos(L)=base/hypotenuse

cos(L)=5/13

Hence, First option is correct.
