Answer:

3 - a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that when you add two numbers together the result is 3.

The greater of the number is given as a.

Let "x" represent that lesser number.

Thus:

a + x = 3

To make x the subject of the formula. Subtract a from both x.

a + x - a = 3 - a

x = 3 - a

Therefore, the expression that represents the lesser number, x, is:

3 - a

Sarah has 25 candies. Sarah gave 2/5 of the candies to her sister. Of the amount left she gave 2/3 to her friend. How many candi
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

5 candies

Step-by-step explanation:

Total of candy Sarah has = 25candies

If Sarah gave 2/5 of the candies to her sister, the total amount she gave her sister will be 2/5 of 25

2/5 of 25 = 10

The remaining candy left will be 25-10 which is 15.

If she gave 2/3 of amount left to her friend, the amount she gave her friend will be 2/3×15 = 10candies.

The amount of candy Sarah have left will be 15- 10 which is 5candies.
