3 0

Let x be the amount of cocoa you use in the recipe.

then 4x is the amount of flour used, and 5x is the amount sugar used.

x+4x+5x= 550g
10x=550g
x=55g

So, you use 55g of cocoa, 220g of flour, and 275g of sugar.

hope this helps! :)

The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 160 feet . The length of the swimming pool is four times its width. Find the dim

Murrr4er [49]

Formula for Perimeter of Rectangle:

P = 2(L + W)

Plug in 160:

160 = 2(L + W)

L = 4W
So we can plug in '4W' for 'L' in the first equation.
<span>160 = 2(L + W)

160 = 2(4W + W)

Combine like terms:

160 = 2(5W)

160 = 10W

Divide 10 to both sides:

W = 16

Now we can plug this back into any of the two equations to find the length.

L = 4W

L = 4(16)

L = 64

So the width is 16, and the length is 64.</span>

Step-by-step explanation:

Under a translation < 5, - 9 >

5 is added to the original x- coordinate and 9 is subtracted from the original y- coordinate, that is

A(1, 4 ) → A'(1 + 5, 4 - 9 ) → A'(6, - 5 )

B(2, - 2 ) → B'(2 + 5, - 2 - 9 ) → B'(7, - 11 )

C(- 3, 2 ) → C'(- 3 + 5, 2 - 9 ) → C'(2, - 7 )

Your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points, x, as the other team. write an expression for the number of point

Ksju [112]

2x-4
If x is the amount the other team scored then the 2x is double. This gives that 4 less than double the amount of the other team would be minus 4
