The ratio of yellow sweets to purple sweets is 5:4.

Mathematics
1 answer:
pickupchik [31]3 years ago

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

Write an equation for the line that has a slope -8/9 and goes through the point (-7, 7)
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

y = (-8/9)x + 0.77777

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know the slope, so the only thing left to find is the y-intercept.

To find the y-intercept, we can <u>plug in the slope and point to the slope-intercept form equation</u> (y = mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-int.)

y   =     m *  x    + b

(7) = (-8/9)*(-7)   + b

<u>Now, just solve for b!</u>

(7) = (-8/9)*(-7)   + b

7 = 56/9 + b

7 - (56/9) = b

b = 0.777777 (repeating decimal, usually signified by a little line above the 7)

so now we just <u>plug in the slope and y-intercept we found into y = mx + b.</u>

y = mx + b

y = (-8/9)x + 0.77777

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is3x−4y=8?
xxTIMURxx [149]

The slope of the parallel line is 3/4

<h3>How to determine the slope?</h3>

The equation is given as:

3x - 4y = 8

Rewrite as:

4y = 3x - 8

Divide through by 4

y = 3x/4 -  2

A linear equation is represented as:

y = mx + b

Where m represents the slope

By comparison:

m = 3/4

Parallel lines have equal slope

Hence, the slope of the parallel line is 3/4
