Answer:

There are 55 sweets in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of sweets is t.

Henry, Brian and Colin share some sweets in the ratio 6:4:1.

This means that Henry earns \frac{6}{6+4+1} = \frac{6}{11} of the total(t).

Brian earns \frac{4}{11} of the total.

Colin earns \frac{1}{11} of the total

Henry gets 25 more sweets than Colin.

Henry earns \frac{6t}{11}

Colin earns \frac{t}{11}

So

\frac{6t}{11} = \frac{t}{11} + 25

Multiplying everything by 1

6t = t + 275

5t = 275

t = \frac{275}{5}

t = 55

There are 55 sweets in total.

System of equations by substitution<br> how do this?<br> y= x+2<br> y= -4x+7
jekas [21]
Equations are given,
y= x+2
<span>
y= -4x+7

As you can see both the expressions, x+2 and -4x+7 are equal to "y". That means they are equal to each other too.

So let's equal them and solve it.

</span>x+2=-4x+7\\ \\ x+2+4x=7\\ \\ x+4x+2=7\\ \\ 5x+2=7\\ \\ 5x=7-2\\ \\ 5x=5\\ \\ x=\frac { 5 }{ 5 } \\ \\ x=1
<span>
Now we have x's value we will plug it in the first equation to find "y".

</span>x=1\\ \\ y=x+2\\ \\ y=1+2\\ \\ y=3
