A hungry elf ate 35 of your muffins. That was 710 of all of them! With how many did you start?

Answer:

2094.5 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is a little bit messy, but i’m guessing you meant that the elf ate 35% of the muffins, which 35% is 710 muffins. so since 35% of muffins is 710 muffins, let’s multiply that by 2 so we can get 70%.

so 710 x 2 is 1420. so 70% of the muffins is 1420 muffins! sadly that’s not all of the muffins. we’re still missing another 30%. since we don’t know how many muffins are in 30%, let’s just take 710 muffins - 5%. when you do that you get 674.5. so now that we know how much is in 30%, let’s take 1420 + 674.5. when you do that you get 2094.5! so you started off with 2094 and a half muffins!

Segment addition with variables
oksian1 [2.3K]

<em>x equals 22</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

____________________________________________

The Segment Postulate states the following:

<em>Given two end points A and B, a third point C lines on the segment AB if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation:</em>

\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}+\overline{CB}

____________________________________________

From the figure:

\overline{AC}=8+x \\ \\ \overline{CB}=10 \\ \\ \overline{AB}=40

Our goal is to find x:

\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}+\overline{CB} \\ \\ Substituting \ values: \\ \\ 40=(8+x)+10 \\ \\ 18+x=40 \\ \\ Subtracting \ 18 \ from \ both \ sides: \\ \\ 18-18+x=40-18 \\ \\ \boxed{x=22}

How many subsets of {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15} are there for which the sum of the elements is 15?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

512

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we ask how many subsets of {1,2,3,4,5} add up to a number ≥8. The crucial idea is that we partition the set into two parts; these two parts are called complements of each other. Obviously, the sum of the two parts must add up to 15. Exactly one of those parts is therefore ≥8. There must be at least one such part, because of the pigeonhole principle (specifically, two 7's are sufficient only to add up to 14). And if one part has sum ≥8, the other part—its complement—must have sum ≤15−8=7

.

For instance, if I divide the set into parts {1,2,4}

and {3,5}, the first part adds up to 7, and its complement adds up to 8

.

Once one makes that observation, the rest of the proof is straightforward. There are 25=32

different subsets of this set (including itself and the empty set). For each one, either its sum, or its complement's sum (but not both), must be ≥8. Since exactly half of the subsets have sum ≥8, the number of such subsets is 32/2, or 16.

Shawna, Dexter, and Tilana are solving the equation -2.5(5-n)+2=15. Shawna says, “I can begin by dividing each side of the equat
laila [671]
Hi!
Shawna is correct because since it's multiplied to the  5-n you have to do the opposite which is division. 
Dexter is also correct because after distributing you can continue solving, there is nothing wrong with that. 
Hope this helps!
