Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this equation by giving Sara's number a variable.

Let it be x.

Then we solve by simply interpreting the problem step by step.

"If you subtract 14 from my number..."

x - 14

"...and multiply the different by -4..."

-4(x-14)

"...the result is -80"

-4(x-14) = -80

Now that we have our equation, we can solve for x.

1.) Use distributive property to expand.

-4x + 56 = -80

2.) Subtract 56 from both sides

-4x = -136

3.) Divide by -4

x = 34

Sara's number is 34

2. Three points of a parallelogram are (4, 3), (-4, 3), and (2, 3). Find the coordinates of the 4th point to complete the parall

antiseptic1488 [7]

Parallelograms have equal and parallel opposite sides

The coordinates of the 4th point is (-2,3)

Let the parallelogram be ABCD, such that:

$A = (4,3)$

$B =(-4,3)$

$C = (2,3)$

A and B have the same y-coordinates, while their x-coordinates are additive inverse

This means that:

The y-coordinates of point C and point D will be the same, while their x-coordinates will be additive inverse.

For point C

We have:

$x = 2$

$y = 3$

For point D

The coordinates would be:

$x =- 2$

$y = 3$

Hence, the coordinates of D is (-2,3)

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer: The correct answer is Choice D.

If 24 percent of the snack mix is pretzel, we simply need to multiply the total number of ounces by 0.24.

0.24 x 32 = 7.68

7.68 ounces of the snack mix will be pretzels.
