Adeline buys 8 packs of Fun Gum. Each pack has 7 pieces of gum. Marisol buys Juicy Gum. Each Juicy Gum pack has 9 pieces of gum.
1 answer:
Answer:
The number of packs is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of juicy packs of gum bought by Marisol be represented by n.
Adeline bought 8 packs of Fun gum with each pack containing 7 pieces of gum.
Total number of gums has Adeline = 8 x 7
= 56
Total pieces of gum has Marisol = n x 9
= 9n
Given that Adeline has 11 more pieces of gum than Marisol, thus;
56 = 9n + 11
56 - 11 = 9n
45 = 9n
n =
n = 5
The number packs of juicy gum bought by Adeline is 5 and total pieces of his gum is 45.

Answer:
The length of side AC is 5 units.
The areas of triangle ABC is 10 square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
From point A (1,3) to point C (1,-2) is 5 units
To check this:
3 - (-2) = 3 + 2 =5
We're subtracting since the point went down (from positive 3 to negative 2)
Now for the area:
Area formula for a triangle: bh =
⋅b⋅h
We already found the height (length) : 5
The base is from point C (1,-2) to point B (5,-2), which is 4 units
To check this:
5 - 1 = 4
Now that we have found the base and height, Let's solve:
⋅4⋅5 =
⋅20 = 10
Our area is 10 square units.
Hope that helps :)
