We need to leave m alone on the right hand side, so let's move everything else to the left hand side.
First of all, we can subtract b from both sides to get
Now, we can divide both sides by c to get
And so we solved the expression for m, because we have written an expression in the form 
, where the right hand side doesn't depend on m.
The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
Whats the math you need help with?
Answer:
64.7 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Cos(44°) = 0.7193
0.7193 = A/90
A = 64.7 feet
or
sin44° = y/90
.695... = y/90
y =~ 63 feet
either way you can get the answer
Answer:
Each guest got 3. (if he doesn't have any for himself).
Step-by-step explanation:
if each guest is x
30=10x
divide by 10
x=3
