Answer:

Mo is sharing the sweets between 5 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

An important thing to note is that whichever way Mo shares the sweets, the total number of sweets he has does not change. It means that if he chooses the first method to share the sweets, or the second method, he still has the same number of sweets. This will be helpful in setting up an equation that will help us solve the problem.

If he chooses the first way to share the sweets:

7x + 2 = total number of sweets available.

<em>This is because each of his friends gets 7 sweets each, with 2 leftovers. If we add them up, it will give the total number of sweets available to be shared.</em>

<em />

If he chooses the second way to share the sweets:

6x + 7 = total number of sweets available.

<em>This is because each of his friends gets 6 sweets each, with 7 leftovers. If we add them up, it will give the total number of sweets available to be shared.</em>

<em />

because the total number of sweets do not change, we have

7x +2 = 6x +7

Grouping like terms,

7x - 6x = 7 - 2

x = 5.

Therefore, Mo is sharing the sweets between 5 friends

Solve each equation by completing the square <br> 6) m² + 16m – 8 = 0
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

m = - 8 ± 6\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m² + 16m - 8 = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )

m² + 16m = 8

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the m- term )² to both sides

m² + 2(8)m + 64 = 8 + 64

(m + 8)² = 72 ( take the square root of both sides )

m + 8 = ± \sqrt{72} = ± \sqrt{36(2)} = ± 6\sqrt{2}

Subtract 8 from both sides

m = - 8 ± 6\sqrt{2}

Need help ASAP!!!!! I WILL GIVE THE MOST BRAINLIEST TO THE FIRST PERSON THAT ANSWERS
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

x^2 + 10x + y^2 -4y + -7 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

For any circle point with coordinate of center (a,b) and radius r

equation of circle is given by

(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2

_______________________________________

Given

coordinate of center =  (-5,2)

radius = 6

thus, equation of circle can be written by substituting a and b with (-5 ,2) and r =6 as shown below

(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2\\(x-(-5))^2 + (y-2)^2 = 6^2\\x^2 + 10x + 25 + y^2 -4y + 4 = 36\\=>x^2 + 10x + y^2 -4y + 29 = 36\\=>x^2 + 10x + y^2 -4y + 29 -36 = 36 -36\\=>x^2 + 10x + y^2 -4y + -7 = 0

Thus, equation of circle is x^2 + 10x + y^2 -4y + -7 = 0

Help ..<br><br><br><br> 3(x+2)=5x+1-2x+5
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

All real numbers are solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step

3(x+2)=5x+1−2x+5

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

3(x+2)=5x+1−2x+5

(3)(x)+(3)(2)=5x+1+−2x+5(Distribute)

3x+6=5x+1+−2x+5

3x+6=(5x+−2x)+(1+5)(Combine Like Terms)

3x+6=3x+6

3x+6=3x+6

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides

3x+6−3x=3x+6−3x

6=6

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides

6−6=6−6

0=0
