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 :)

If x = 7, what is the value of the expression above?
givi [52]

if x= 7 what is the value of x-4

7 - 4

=3

if y=3 what is the value of 8y

8 x 3

= 24

if x=7 what is the value of 3x-4

(3 x 7) - 4

= 17

if x=7 and y=3 what is the value of 2x-7y

(2 x 7) -(7 x 3)

= - 7

if x=7 and y=3 what is the value of 4y-X

(4 x 7) - 3

= 25

Hope this helps

Monique drew a square and inscribed circle on a sheet of paper, as shown below
Irina-Kira [14]
If you know the area of the square is 256 and the area of the circle is 200.96 you subtract 200.96 from 256 and you get 55.04 is the area of the square that is not covered by the circle. so 55.04/256  because that will give you the percent of the area that is outside that circle but inside the square and you get .215 or 21.50%
