Answer:

-2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call our other expression y, we can set up an equation tying together 3x + 5, y, and 5x - 7:

$(5x-7)+y=3x+5$

Solving for y by subtracting 5x - 7 from both sides will get us the expression we're looking for:

$y=3x+5-(5x-7)\\y=3x+5-5x+7\\y=-2x+12$

So the other expression in the sum is -2x + 12.

Help me find the missing angles

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

b) 105°

d) 130°

Step-by-step explanation:

An external angle has the same measure as the sum of the remote internal angles.

b) ? = 25° +80° = 105°

d) ? = 35° +95° = 130°

_____

This should be fairly obvious if you consider that the adjacent internal angle together with the external angle totals 180°, and the adjacent internal angle together with the other two internal angles totals 180°.

If the two "remote" angles are A and B, and the adjacent internal angle is C, then we have in symbols ...

A + B + C = 180° = ? + C

If we subtract C, then we find ...

A + B = ? . . . . . . the fact we used above

Answer:

Question one = 35a - 15

Question two = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property means to multiply all the numbers inside the parenthesis

by the outside number. 5 x 7a equals 35a and 5 x 3 = 15.

35 x 9 - 315 - 15 = 300

A = 9

Polly buys 14 cupcakes for a party. The bakery puts them into boxes that hold 4 cupcakes each.

Temka [501]

Answer:

Part a) The number of boxes needed will be 4

part b) The fraction of the box that is empty is $\frac{1}{2}$

Part c) Are needed 2 cupcakes to fill the last box

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) How many boxes will be needed for Polly to bring all the cupcakes to the party?

To find out the number of boxes needed, divide the total number of cupcakes by 4 (maximum number of cupcakes that fit in each box).

$\frac{14}{4}=3.5\ box$

Round up

The number of boxes needed will be 4

Part b) If the bakery completely fills as many boxes as possible, what fraction of the last box is empty?

we know that

The maximum number of cupcakes per box is 4

The first three boxes have 4 cupcakes

The last box has

$14-3(4)=2\ cupcakes$

The fraction of the box that is empty is equal to the number of cupcakes missing to fill the box divided by the cupcake capacity of the box

$\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Part c) How many more cupcakes are needed to fill this box

Subtract the number of cupcakes in the box from the cupcake capacity of the box

The last box has 2 cupcakes

The cupcake capacity of the box is 4

$4-2=2\ cupcakes$

therefore

Are needed 2 cupcakes to fill the last box
