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

What is 2 and negative three using integers​
Darina [25.2K]

If you mean "how to write the sum", the answer is

2+(-3)

The result of this sum is -1, because you start from 2 on the number line and take 3 steps to the left (negative integers mean going left, positive integers mean going right)

Will give brainliest-H(t)=-16t^2+28t
____ [38]
For this case we have the following equation:
 H (t) = - 16t ^ 2 + 28t
 When the dolphin finishes a jump, then the height is equal to zero.
 We have then:
 -16t ^ 2 + 28t = 0
 We look for the roots of the polynomial:
 t1 = 0
 t2 = 1.75 s
 Therefore, the dolphin takes 1.75 seconds to make a jump.
 Answer:
 
it will take for the dolphin to make one jump about:
 
t = 1.75 s
