Okay so we have to first find the total.
8+3+5= 16 candies
7+4+9= 20 drinks
Since she wants to get a yellow candy and any drink but orange, put that information as a fraction.
8/16= 50% or 1/2
11/20= 55% (By the way you get 11 because of the 7 red and 4 blue).
And that's your answer!
Hope this helped and good luck! ^=^

How do you factor 5x^2 = 10x
denis-greek [22]
5x^2 = 10x 

5x^2-10x=10x-10x 

5x^2-10x=0 

     Use quadratic formula 

\quad x_{1,\:2}=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} 

\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=5,\:b=-10,\:c=0:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\dfrac{-\left(-10\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-10\right)^2-4\cdot \:5\cdot \:0}}{2\cdot \:5} 

x=\dfrac{-\left(-10\right)+\sqrt{\left(-10\right)^2-4\cdot \:5\cdot \:0}}{2\cdot \:5}:\quad 2 

x=\dfrac{-\left(-10\right)-\sqrt{\left(-10\right)^2-4\cdot \:5\cdot \:0}}{2\cdot \:5}:\quad 0 

x=2,\:x=0

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (7, -4) and (7, 0)? Write your answer in the simplest form.
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The slop is undefined

i.e. m=\infty

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the slope formula

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

As the points are (7, -4) and (7, 0)

Here:

  • (x₁, y₁) = (7, -4)
  • (x₂, y₂) = (7, 0)

\mathrm{When\:}y_1\ne \:y_2\mathrm{\:and\:}\:x_1=x_2\mathrm{\:the\:slope\:is\:}\infty

so

  \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

            =\frac{\left(0-\left(-4\right)\right)}{\left(7-7\right)}

             =\frac{0-\left(-4\right)}{0}

             =\infty    

Therefore, the slop is undefined i.e. m=\infty

Can someone please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!
castortr0y [4]
The answer is 4 bc 4a+8b+4c=1. 4a*4=16a 8b*4=32b and 4c*4=16c so 1*4=4. since ur finding four times as much of the first problem then 16a+16c+32b=4
