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

Nina knows that the average of the x-intercepts represents the line of symmetry for a quadratic function through the x-axis. Whi
Ghella [55]

Answer:

To get the x-intercepts of the function, f(x) = 4x2 – 24x + 20

It has to be equated to zero and the values of x are the x-intercepts. So,

4x2 – 24x + 20 = 0

The resulting equation is a quadratic equation which can be solved by different methods. The solution is

x = 5, 1

The average therefore is:

(1+5/)2 = 3

1/4+1/2=____<br> Simplest form
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Hello!

To find our answer, we first convert 1/2 into fourths. We multiply it by 2/2, giving us 2/4.

2/4+1/4=3/4

Therefore, our answer is \boxed {\frac{3}{4}}.

I hope this helps!

8. Solve for x.<br> 28°<br> X
Lerok [7]

Answer:

if X is the angle degree like I think it is, then X = 56 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

isosceles triangles will have 2 equal base angles.

90 degree angle - 28 = 62°

62 is now each base angle.

62 times 2 angles equals 124

the final angle, x, is 180 - 124 = 56°

Prove that if AC=DF and AB=DE then BC=EF
Step2247 [10]
In triangle ABC and DEF
AC =DF, [ given ]
AB =DE, [ given ]
angle A = angle D
by SAS
ABC congruent to triangle DFE
so
BC = EF, [ CPCTC]
hence proved
