Answer:

Each bag originally had 35 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bags are identical, Let them Number of candies in each bag sue had be x. Thus, she had 5x candies. Since she lost 25 pieces, then she now has;

5x - 25 candies left.

We are told that Ted had 4 bags with the same number of candies like Sue had. Thus, he has 4x candies.

He mysteriously found 10 additional pieces. Total Ted now has is;. 4x + 10

Finally, we are told that Sue and Ted now have an equal number of candies.

Thus;

5x - 25 = 4x + 10

Rearranging, we have;

5x - 4x = 25 + 10

x = 35

Thus, each bag originally had 35 pieces of candy

Write an equation in point slope and slope intercept form of a line that passes through the given point and has the given slope
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Point-Slope: y+4=-\frac{1}{2}(x+3)

Slope-Intercept: y=-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{11}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope formula is y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}  ). The slope-intercept formula is y=mx+b. Since we are given the point and slope, we can directly plug it into the point-slope formula.

Point-Slope

y-(-4)=-\frac{1}{2}(x- (-3))

y+4=-\frac{1}{2} (x+3)

To find the slope-intercept form, we can manipulate the point-slope form to get the slope-intercept form.

Slope-Intercept

y+4=-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}

y=-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{11}{2}
