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

For this, it is kind of like a triangle and having to find the diagonal. Let's see what the two legs of the triangle would be.
Leg one= 7 units
Leg two= 8 units
8²+7²= c²
64 + 49=113
√113≈10.6
The line is 10.6 units long.

I just need the advance ticket price iknow that the same day is 15$
OverLord2011 [107]
I would feel better if you'd explain how you "know" that a "same-day" ticket is $15.  

"<span>The combined cost of one advance ticket and one same-day ticket is $35."  This would imply that the cost of one advance ticket is $(35-15), or $10.  

Check by substitution to determine whether $15 and $10 are correct.  If not, please show your work, so that someone else or I could step back in and help.

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The answer is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine what values to use from the table to find the average rate of change.  

The problem asks for the average rate of change (AROC) from week 3 to week 9. The points referring to these measurements would be (3, 41) and (9, 83), respectively.

Step 2

FInd the AROC from (3, 41) to (9, 83).

The formula for the slope of a line between two given points (which is the same as AROC from the first two the second point) is

AROC  = y2−y1x2−x1

In your points, x1 is 3, x2 is 9, y1 is 41, and y2 is 83. Plug these values into the above formula and simplify.

AROC =  83−419−3=426=7  

The AROC is 7.

Step 3

Enter your solution.

Enter the value 7 and move on to the next question.
