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

Find the area (in square feet) of a rectangle that measures 17" × 3'10".
Kitty [74]

Answer:

65 feet and 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the area of a rectangle you need to multiply length times width in this case 17" times 3'10". But first you must convert everything into the same form(in this case feet) so first you can convert everything to inches by multiplying 3 times 12  which gives you 36 then add the 10, so it is now 46 inches then multiply that by 17 and altogether it is 782 inches, then divide by 12 (to convert it back to feet) and the answer is 65.1666666667. After you can round and get 65 feet and 2 inches.

<em>-7 -5 / 4 -2 / -12/2 </em>

<em>-12/2 = -6 </em>

<em>Slope: -6x </em>

<em>5 = 2(-6) + b</em>

<em>5 = -12 + b </em>

two jets leave an airport at the same time in opposite directions. the first jet is traveling at 323 mph and the other at 347 mp
skelet666 [1.2K]

Remark

This may be a little confusing, but because they are travelling in opposite directions, the distances add when you want to get how far apart they are.

d1 + d2 = 1541

Equation

Let the time this happens = t

d1 = 323*t

d2 = 347*t

323*t + 347*t = 1541 Combine like terms on the left.

670t = 1541 Divide by 670

t = 1541/670

t = 2.3 hours pass before the distance of 1541 miles are between the two planes. You might need the answer to be 2 hours 18 minutes.
