The equation is 314 = 1,200 - 240x

1,200 is the number of M&M's it starts with
The problem said the family eats 1/5th of the candy every day
1/5 of 1,200 is 240
It is a -240 because the amount of m&m's is getting fewer each day
The x stands for the number of days

Sorry but I'm not sure if I could answer your problem exactly
The answer is 3.69 days
Because there isn't an exact day that there would exactly 314 M&M's left

Hank’s teacher asked him to verify that the product (y – 3)(y2 + 3y + 9) is a difference of cubes. He used the distributive prop
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

expand (y - 3)(y² + 3y + 9)

= y³ + 3y² + 9y - 3y² - 9y - 27

compare the coefficients of like terms with

y³ + 3y² + ay - 3y² - ay - 27

ay = 9y and - ay = - 9y ⇒ a = 9

Practice using the work formula. A bathtub that holds 42 gallons of water is filling at a rate of 4 gallons per minute. How long
trapecia [35]

Answer: The percentage of the tub after 6 minutes is 30 %

Step-by-step explanation: The  calculation can be done as follows

1 minutes= 4 gallons

6 minutes= 4×6

= 24 minutes

If the bathtub can hold 80 gallons of water then the percentage of the tub after 6 minutes can be calculated as follows

= 24/80

= 0.3 × 100

= 30 %

Hence the percentage of the tub will be filled after 6 minutes is 30 %

Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept without graphing. Write the coordinates of each intercept.
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Point of x-intercept: (2,0).

Point of y-intercept: (0,6).

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Finding the x-intercept.

This point is where the graph of the function touches the x axis. It can be found by substituting the "y" for 0. This is how you do it:

y=-3x+6\\ \\-3x+6=0\\ \\-3x=-6\\\\x=\frac{-6}{-3} \\ \\x=2

Hence, the point of x-intercept: (2,0).

2. Finding the y-intercept.

This point is where the graph of the function touches the y axis. It can be found by substituting the "x" for 0. This is how you do it:

y=-3(0)+6\\ \\y=6

Hence, the point of y-intercept: (0,6).
