Answer:

8 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the original amount of candy in the bowl to be x.

It says that 20 pieces of candy were added, therefore there are x+20 pieces of candy in the bowl.

Half of the candy is gone, therefore \frac{x+20}{2} pieces of candy are left in the bowl.

After half of the candy is gone, there are 14 pieces left, so we can say that \frac{x+20}{2} =14

Solve for x:

x+20 = 28

x=8

1. (5,8) m= 3<br> It wants me to write this in slope intercept form
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The answer is: y = 3x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point: (5, 8).

Slope m = 3

Use the point slope form and solve for y:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 8 = 3(x - 5)

y - 8 = 3x - 15

y = 3x - 15 + 8

y = 3x - 7

Proof:

f(x) = 3x - 7

f(5) = 3(5) - 7

= 15 - 7 = 8, giving (5, 8)

Answer:

Answer: (7,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the formula

1) (x – h)^2 + (y – k)^2 = r2

the center is described by (h,k)

now look at

(x – 7)^2 + (y +2)^2 = 25

here h=7

but k= -2 because is (y+2) =(y-(-2))

The monthly income of Ram is Rs 40,000. If he paid Rs 8,000 as income tax. Find the rate of income tax.​
frosja888 [35]

Hello!

Rate of income tax = Tax paid / Monthly income

⇒ Rate = 8,000 / 40,000

⇒ Rate = 0.2

⇒ Rate = 20%

∴ The rate of income tax is 20%.
