Answer:

6  "surprise" flavors jellybeans

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

The bag contained a mixture of regular flavored jellybeans and "surprise" jellybeans.

There are 40 jellybeans in the bag.

If 15% of the jellybean were "surprise" flavors.

Then, the number of expected "surprise" jellybeans will be:

= 15% of 40 jellybeans

= (15/100) × 40

= 6  "surprise" flavors jellybeans

If  6 surprise jellybean is contained in the bag;

Thus, the number of regular flavored jellybean will be

= 40 - 6

= 34 regular flavored jellybean

Which equation can you use to solve for x? x + 56 = 180 x + 146 = 180 180−x=146 x + 56 = 146 The figure contains a pair intersec
Harlamova29_29 [7]
The correct question is
<span>Which equation can you use to solve for x? x + 56 = 180 x + 146 = 180 180−x=146 x + 56 = 146 The figure contains a pair intersecting lines. One of the four angles formed by the intersecting lines is labeled 146 degrees. The angle opposite and not adjacent to this angle is broken into two smaller angles by a ray that extends from the point where the two lines intersect. One of these smaller angles is labeled 56 degrees, and the other smaller angle is labeled x degrees.

see the picture attached to better understand the problem

we know that
angle 146</span>° and angle (56°+x°) area equal -----> by vertical angles
so
146=56+x
therefore

the answer is
<span>x + 56 = 146</span>

The difference of the square of a number and 10 is equal to 3 times that number. Find the negative solution.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number x. The statement tells us that

x^2 - 10 = 3x, or

x^2-3x-10 = 0

Factoring:

(x-5)(x+2) = 0. Here, we see that there are two solutions: x = 5 and x = -2. So, the negative solution is x = -2.
