Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take 15, and divide it by the 3 out of the 3/8 left, you get 5. You then multiply 5 by 8 to get the full amount of candies she had before sharing, 40.

I hope this helped!

Thanks!

Hey can you please help me posted picture of question
kakasveta [241]
We have the following equation:
 3x2 + 7x + 4 = 0
 Using the resolver we have:
 x = (- b +/- root (b2 - 4ac)) / 2a
 Substituting values we have:
 x = (- (7) +/- root ((7) 2 - 4 (3) (4))) / 2 (3)
 Rewriting:
 x = (- 7 +/- root (49 - 48)) / 6
 x = (- 7 +/- root (1)) / 6
 x = (- 7 +/- 1) / 6
 The results are:
 x = (- 7 + 1) / 6 = -6/6 = -1
 x = (- 7 - 1) / 6 = -8 / 6 = -4/3
 Answer:
 
x = -1
 
x = -4/3

Three students, Alicia, Benjamin, and Caleb, are constructing a square inscribed in a circle with center at point C. Alicia draw
True [87]

Benjamin is correct about the diameter being perpendicular to each other and the points connected around the circle.

<h3>Inscribing a square</h3>

The steps involved in inscribing a square in a circle include;

  • A diameter of the circle is drawn.
  • A perpendicular bisector of the diameter is drawn using the method described as the perpendicular of the line sector. Also known as the diameter of the circle.
  • The resulting four points on the circle are the vertices of the inscribed square.

Alicia deductions were;

Draws two diameters and connects the points where the diameters intersect the circle, in order, around the circle

Benjamin's deductions;

The diameters must be perpendicular to each other. Then connect the points, in order, around the circle

Caleb's deduction;

No need to draw the second diameter. A triangle when inscribed in a semicircle is a right triangle, forms semicircles, one in each semicircle. Together the two triangles will make a square.

It can be concluded from their different postulations that Benjamin is correct because the diameter must be perpendicular to each other and the points connected around the circle to form a square.

Thus, Benjamin is correct about the diameter being perpendicular to each other and the points connected around the circle.

Consider this expression
Sloan [31]

Answer:

\displaystyle \large{(x + 9)(x - 8)}

The value of a is 9 and b is -8

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle  \large{(x + a)(x  + b) =  {x}^{2}  + (a + b)x + ab}

We need to find two numbers that add up or subtract off to 1.

Then we also use the same two numbers that multiply and get -72.

Let's see:-

  • 9 and -8 seem like correct values.

Because 9+(-8) is 9-8 = 1

And 9(-8) is -72.

Therefore:

\displaystyle \large{ {x}^{2}  + x - 72 = (x + 9)(x - 8)}

The value of a is 9 and the value of b is -8 according to form of (x+a)(x+b)
