Let Lynette has originally candies in hand = x

She gave half to her son means x/2 given to son.

2 candies gave to daughter and left with 4.

x - x/2 - 2 = 4

adding 2 both sides

x - x/2 - 2 + 2 = 4 + 2

x - x/2 = 6

x /2 = 6

x = 12

Means she have 12 candies originally : Answer

Hope it will help :)

Please be kind and help me on this question.<br> WARNING: only if your good at math thank you
AVprozaik [17]

Short Answer: The first three are absolutely true. Congruency is maintained if all you are doing is shifting the figure 8 spaces away. Since the figures are congruent, their corresponding parts are equal and the statements made are always true. That's the guiding principle.


A is true. See the short answer.


B is True. You have gone 8 units away. The distance between the old G and the new one is 8 units. This is not a congruency property but it is true because it is given. You haven't altered the shape or rotatated it.


C is true by conguency. You have just shifted things 8 units. You have maintained equality and you have maintained distance between corresponding parts.


That leaves D. If the figures are regular, that will be true. If they are not regular, non corresponding external angles cannot be guaranteed to be true.

6 1⁄3 + 7 1⁄4 – 2 1⁄2 =
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

11 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

6 1/3 = 19/3

7 1/4 = 29/4

2 1/2 = 5/2

19/3 + 29/4 - 5/2


We must find the LCM of 3, 4, and 2. This happens to be 12

3*4 = 12

4*3 = 12

2*6 = 12

Multiply each fraction by the factor that'll get it to 12.


19/3 * 4/4 = 76/12

29/4 * 3/3 = 87/12

5/2 * 6/6 = 30/12

Now go through the problem


76/12 + 87/12 - 30/12

76 + 87 = 163

163/12 - 30/12

163 - 30 = 133

133/12

Simplify

133/12 = 11.0833... or 11 1/12


Hope this helps.
