Answer:

12 Pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of candies in Jane's bag = x

she gives 8 to her friend;

x - 8

Then jane's grandmother buys 5 more pieces than jane had originally; add (x + 5)

x - 8 + x + 5

Now jane has 27 pieces of candy

x - 8 + x + 5 = 27

Solve for x;

x - 8 + x + 5 = 27

2x - 3 = 27

2x = 27 -3

2x = 24

x = 12

the area of a window is 192 in squared. The width if the window is four inches more than half the length of the window. What are
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Length = 16 inches and width = 12inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 192 in² . The width is 4 + 1/2x.  therefore let x = length

Area = LW

192 =  x(4 + 1/2 x)

192 = 4x + 1/2x²      

384 = 8x  + x²                            Multiply each term by 2 to make a  

384 + 16 =  x² + 8x + 16              Complete the square

400 = (x  + 4)²        

\sqrt{400} = \sqrt{(x + 4)^2}

± 20 = x + 4

20 = x + 4  or  -20 = x + 4

20 - 4 = x     or  -20 - 4 = x

    16 = x   or   -24 = x   reject the negative amount

   Length = 16

   width = 4 + 1/2(16);   4 + 8 = 12

jeka94

Omar spent 600 dollars for earning 1800 reward points.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Omar earns 300 reward points for every 100 dollars he spends.

Suppose, he spent  x dollar for 1800 reward points.

Now <u>according to the ratio of "amount of money spent" and "reward points"</u> , the equation will be......

\frac{x}{1800}=\frac{100}{300}\\ \\ 300x=180000\\ \\ x=\frac{180000}{300}=600

Thus, Omar spent 600 dollars for earning 1800 reward points.
