Answer:2 and 53/60 pounds of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/3 = 4/3, so X = 4/3 + 3/4 + 4/5

You want the a common denmenator to add the fractions together. An easy was to do that is to multiply all the denominators together 3x4x5 = 60

for 4/3, 60/3 is 20, so the numerator is 4x20  to get 80/60

for 3/4, 60/4 is 15, so the numertor is 3x15 to get 45/60

for 4/5, 60/5 is 12, so the numerator is 4x12 to get 48/60

80/60 + 45/60 + 48/60 = 173/60 or simplified to 2 53/60

So she sold 2 and 53/60 pounds

identify the equation in the point-slope form the line parallel to y=3/4x-4 that passes through (-1,7)
hram777 [196]
Y = 3/4x -4
The slope is 3/4 since it is written in the form y =mx+b where m is the slope
We want a line that is parallel so it will have the same slope
We know the slope of the new line (3/4) and a point (-1,7)
So we can use the point slope form of the equation
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-7 = 3/4(x--1)
y-7=3/4(x+1)

Let m = 6x + 5.
arsen [322]

We have been given that m=6x+5. We are asked to write (6x + 5)^2-10 =-18x-15 in terms of m.

First of all, we will factor -3 from right side of equation as:

(6x + 5)^2-10 =-3\cdot 6x-3\cdot 5

(6x + 5)^2-10 =-3( 6x+5)

Now we will substitute m=6x+5 in our equation as:

(m)^2-10 =-3(m)

m^2-10 =-3m

Upon adding 3m on both sides, we will get:

m^2+3m-10 =-3m+3m

m^2+3m-10 =0

Therefore, the equation m^2+3m-10 =0 is equivalent to (6x + 5)^2-10 =-18x-15 in terms of m.

n a particular day, the wind added 2 miles per hour to Alfonso's rate when he was cycling with the wind and subtracted 2 miles p
goldfiish [28.3K]
Recall your d = rt, or distance = rate * time

notice, the time he took to cover 63 miles with the wind, is the same amount of time he took against it with 51 miles only, let's say, he took "t" hours long
and he was cycling at a rate of "r"

thus    \bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\textit{with the wind}&63&r+2&t\\
\textit{against the wind}&51&r-2&t
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\

\begin{cases}
63=(r+2)t\implies \cfrac{63}{r+2}=\boxed{t}\\\\
51=(r-2)t\\
----------\\
51=(r-2)\left( \boxed{\cfrac{63}{r+2}} \right)
\end{cases}

solve for "r"
