Hi!

To solve this, we need to write an equation.

Obviously there are 7 candies in the bowl.

\frac{4}{7} + \frac{1}{7} + \frac{x}{7} = \frac{7}{7}

Add

\frac{5}{7} + \frac{x}{7} = \frac{7}{7}

Subtract 5/7 from both sides of the equation to find x.

\frac{5}{7} - \frac{5}{7} + \frac{x}{7} = \frac{7}{7} - \frac{5}{7}

\frac{x}{7} = \frac{2}{7}

x = 2

The answer is \frac{2}{7}

Hope this helps! :)

fam can swim a lap in 29 2/5 seconds. cuteboujee can swim a lap in 28.7 seconds. how much faster can cuteboujee swim a lap than
natima [27]

Answer:

0.7 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to subtract both lap times, but before doing so you need to know what 2/5 is in decimal form. To do so, you must do 2 divided by 5, getting 0.4 seconds as it's a fraction converting to decimal. This means Fam swam 29.4 seconds, which instead of 2/5, you have 0.4 as your converted answer, so you would substitute it after 29. Then, you would do 29.40 subtracted by 28.7 and get 0.7 seconds as your answer to find out the difference of their swim times.

Help! E-learning day. thanks!
N76 [4]
X + y = 38
2x + 5y = 100
Where x is how many 2 pointers there were on the test and y how many 5 pinters there were

Elimination method:
2x + 2y = 76
2x + 5y = 100

2x - 2x + 2y - 5y = 76 - 100
-3y = - 24
y = 8
Apply it to the equation to get x
x + 8 = 38
x = 30
30 two pointers
8 five pointers

If f(x) = x2 - 4x and f(-3), then the result is:<br> o -3.<br> O 21.<br> 0 -21.

This is pretty much saying that if x = -3, then solve for the equation, so (-3)^2 - 4(-3) = 9 - 12 = -3
