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

Makovka662 [10]
Angles of Elevation and Depression are used in measuring heights and distances in trigonometric applications using right triangles. These angles are made when we look up or down to view objects. Devices are available to measure angles of elevation and depression. These measured angles can be used in measuring heights and distance which are either tedious or impractical to measure, by modelling the situation into right triangles

Write the standard equation of the circle shown.
zysi [14]

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle centred at the origin is

x² + y² = r² ← r is the radius

The circle shown is centred at the origin and has a radius of 5, thus

x² + y² = 5² ⇒ x² + y² = 25 → b

I need help please help me im struggling please show WORK and tell me how to do it NO links please.
stellarik [79]

Answer:

- 7y +3 =-25

-7y=-25—3

-7y=-28

-7y÷-7= -28÷-7

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Take +3 to the side so that your variable and a constant is on their own sides. When a number goes over the equals sign the sign changes at becomes the inverse that's why l said - 3. You now calculate - 25—3 equals 28 then divide by 7 to find y and your y is 4.

Taka conducts an experiment where he rolls a number cube, with sides labeled from 1 to 6, and then flips a coin. This table show
sweet [91]
The experimental probability is 1/6, and the theoretical probability is 1/4. The theoretical probability is greater than the experimental probability in this trial.-------------------Explanation:
Theoretical probability is the mathematically calculated probability of the circumstances occurring. 
There is a 1/2 chance of rolling an even number, and a 1/2 chance of flipping a coin on heads.
Since the question asks for the possibility of both happening, multiply those together to find the probability:


The theoretical probability of rolling an even number and then flipping a head is 1/4.
Now we'll focus on Taka's trials.
Experimental probability is the probability that is taken from results of a trial.
Take the results, and see if they match the criteria of rolling an even number and flipping heads.
The results that are bolded fit the criteria:1 H, 4 T, 1 H, 5 T, 2 H, 3 T, 6 T, 2 H, 3 T, 5 T, 3 H, 4 T
Taka managed to roll and flip the coin to fit the criteria 2 times out of 12. Converted into a fraction, it is 2/12. Simplified, the experimental probability is 1/6
