Mathematics

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of yellow : purple = 5 : 4 = 5x : 4x ( x is a multiplier )

After Alice eats 3 purple sweets, then ratio is

5 : 3 = 5x : 4x - 3

Express the ratio in fractional form, that is

\frac{5}{3} = \frac{5x}{4x-3} ( cross- multiply )

5(4x - 3) = 15x

20x - 15 = 15x ( subtract 15x from both sides )

5x - 15 = 0 ( add 15 to both sides )

5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 3

Then

number of sweets at beginning = 5x + 4x = 9x = 9(3) = 27

2 * 4 = 8

8 < 11 is true

2 * 5 = 10

10 < 11 is true

2 * 5.3 =  10.6

10.6 < 11 is true

2 * 5.7 = 11.4

11.4 < 11 is NOT true.

x = 5.7 is not a solution.

What value of x would make the figure a parallelogram (show your math please)

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonals of a parallelogram bisects each other.

Therefore,

4x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2

Or

5x = 3x + 4

5x - 3x = 4

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2
