<h3>Answer:</h3>

B) 10 pounds

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let x represent the amount of 70¢ candy to be added. The value of the mixture can be written as ...

... 90×30 + 70x = 85×(30+x) . . . . . where 30+x is the total weight of the mix

... 2700 +70x = 2550 +85x

... 150 = 15x . . . . . . add -70x-2550

... 10 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

10 pounds of candy at 70¢/lb must be added.

Yvonne is interested in testing the effectiveness of a new flea medication on dogs, so she divided some dogs with fleas into two
meriva

Actually, the real answer is "NO, BECAUSE GROUP B SHOULD BE THE CONTROL GROUP". Since Yvonne gave the flea medication to the group A, and we need a control group. If you don't know what it's the control group, it's the group that they don't put the experiment on, just to see if the group(s) being experimented, had any positive or negative changes. In a short summary they need group B to stay like they are to compare it to the experimented group (group A)

Good Luck!

If angle P is a right angle and angle P and Q from a linear pair, then angle Q is
anygoal [31]
< P is a right angle.....a right angle is 90 degrees.
< P and < Q form a linear pair....a linear pair, when added, = 180 degrees

so if < P is 90.....and when added to < Q = 180...
90 + Q = 180
Q = 180 - 90
Q = 90 <== so < Q is also a right angle...measures 90 degrees

Georgie joins a gym. She pays $25 to sign up and then $15 each monthLabel the y-intercept, the slope, and your axes.
Degger [83]
The first thing you should do for this case is to find the equation of the line that best suits the problem and then plot it.

Let X: number of months and: amount paid.

The equation of the line is
y = 15x + 25 y-intercept = 25

the slope = 15

Answer:

Georgie pays (y axis) $ 15 dollars (the spole) monthly (x-axis) in the gym with a $ 25 registration (y -intercept)
