Answer:

  • girl: 7
  • boy: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g and b represent the numbers of candy canes the girl and boy have, respectively.

  g -1 = b +1 . . . . . . girl gives to boy, they're equal

  g +1 = 2(b -1) . . . . boy gives to girl; she has double

Adding 1 to the first equation gives an expression for g that can be substituted into the second equation.

  g = b +2

  (b +2) +1 = 2b -2

  5 = b . . . . . . . . . . add 2-b, simplify

  g = 5+2 = 7 . . . . . find g

The girl has 7 candy canes; the boy has 5.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

\$57.88  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

t=3\ years\\ P=\$50\\ r=5\%=5/100=0.05\\n=1  

substitute in the formula above

A=50(1+\frac{0.05}{1})^{1*3}  

A=50(1.05)^{3}  

A=\$57.88

Answer:

The inequality is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plugging in the value for m (15) and solving, we find that the inequality cannot be correct, as 75 is greater than, NOT less than 72.
