To start off, you want to make the equations. first, we will make x = chocolate candy and y=caramel candy since thats the order they come in the problem. we know she bought 20 pieces of candy, so we now know our first equation, x+y=20. next, if each chocolate candy costs $.50, that now makes x in our second equation .5x. the y will then be .1y. they then total up to equal $6.80, so our second equation is .5x+.1y=6.8. to then find x, subtract the y from the first equation to get x=20-y. then in the second equation, replace x with y and solve. you then get y=8, so we know britney has 8 caramels. now in the first equation, replace the y to get x+8=20. and now x=12

Artemon [7]

Answer:

B: This relationship is not a function because more than one amount of plant food remains each day

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Ryan did an experiment by observing the effects of plant food and the growth of the sprouting bean plant. He made a note of the height of the bean plant and the amount of food remaining in the container for the plant after feeding each day.

Thus he observed that the plant food in the container decreases by an equal amount everyday as the bean plant grew. Thus this states that it is not a  function between the two as there are more than one plant food remaining each day for the plant.

A relationship is a function when one element belongs to one thing.

MATH IS HARD. HELP<br> Change the following into a single fraction: 1− (a+b/a−b)
lianna [129]

Answer:

-2b/(a-b)

Step-by-step explanation:

1− (a+b/a−b)


We need to get a common denominator of a-b

1 = (a-b)/(a-b)

Replace 1 with (a-b)/(a-b)

(a-b)/(a-b) - (a+b)/(a-b)

Put over the common denominator

(a-b) - (a+b)

-----------------

(a-b)


Distribute the minus sign.

(a-b) - a-b)

-----------------

(a-b)

a-a-b-b

---------------

a-b


-2b

----------

a-b
