b. Sixty-five pounds of candy was divided into four different boxes. The second box contained twice the amount of the first box.

Ainat [17]

First box = 14 pounds

Second box = 2x = 28 pounds

Third Box = x+2= 16 pounds

Fourth box = x/2 = 7 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , Sixty-five pounds of candy was divided into four different boxes. The second box contained twice the amount of the first box. The third box contained two more pounds than the first box. The last box contained one-fourth the amount in the second box. We need to find How much candy was in each box. Let's find out:

We have a total of 65 pounds of candy ! Let in first box we have x pounds so , second box contained twice the amount of the first box i.e.

⇒ $2x$

The third box contained two more pounds than the first box i.e.

⇒ $x+2$

The last box contained one-fourth the amount in the second box i.e.

⇒ $(\frac{1}{4})2x = \frac{x}{4}$

Therefore , Sum of pounds of candy are :

⇒ $\frac{x}{2} +x+2+2x+x=65$

⇒ $\frac{x}{2} +4x=63$

⇒ $\frac{9x}{2}=63$

⇒ $x=63(\frac{2}{9} )$

⇒ $x=14$

Therefore , Candy in each box is :

First box = 14 pounds

Second box = 2x = 28 pounds

Third Box = x+2= 16 pounds

Fourth box = x/2 = 7 pounds

What does the dotted line in the diagram imply about the number of triangles you can construct from the given information

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:A triangle is aptly named: it is composed of three (tri) angles formed by three non-coincident, non-parallel lines. That the lines are non-coincident means they do not overlap, and that they are non-parallel means that each line intersects with every other line. Correspondingly, a triangle also has three sides.

Prove that an = 4^n + 2(-1)^nis the solution to

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

See proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to verify that if we substitute $a_n=4^n+2(-1)^n$ in the equation $a_n=3a_{n-1}+4a_{n-2}$ the equality is true.

Let's substitute first in the right hand side:

$3a_{n-1}+4a_{n-2}=3(4^{n-1}+2(-1)^{n-1})+4(4^{n-2}+2(-1)^{n-2})$

Now we use the distributive laws. Also, note that $(-1)^{n-1}=\frac{1}{-1}(-1)^n=(-1)(-1)^{n}$ (this also works when the power is n-2).

$=3(4^{n-1})+6(-1)^{n-1}+4(4^{n-2})+8(-1)^{n-2}$

$=3(4^{n-1})+(-1)(6)(-1)^{n}+4^{n-1}+(-1)^2(8)(-1)^{n}$

$=4(4^{n-1})-6(-1)^{n}+8(-1)^{n}=4^n+2(-1)^n=a_n$

then the sequence solves the recurrence relation.

Find 3/7 of 21? Can you find this answer because my homework I do not know how to do so can you please find this question.

const2013 [10]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

3/7 multiplied by 21 = 3/7 x 21 = 9 = 3/7 x 21/1 = 63/7 = 9

Or if you can't do the math - Think of a pizza with 21 slices . Now cut this pizza into 7 equal parts. You will find that each part contains exactly 3 slices. Now, eat 3 of these parts. With three slices in each part, you ate 9 slices - which is three sevenths of 21.
