Answer:

They have 425 candy bars ready to sell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the number of candy bars ready to sell

y be the number of chips ready to sell

According to given statement;

x+y=575     Eqn 1

x+0.5y= 500     Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 1

(x+y)-(x+0.5y)=575-500

x+y-x-0.5y=75

0.5y = 75

Dividing both sides by 0.5

\frac{0.5y}{0.5}=\frac{75}{0.5}\\y=150

Putting y=150 in Eqn 1

x+150 = 575

x = 575-150

x = 425

Hence,

They have 425 candy bars ready to sell.

Solve 3x − x + 2 = 12.<br><br> −5<br> 4<br> 7<br> 5
Papessa [141]
Judging by the question I noticed that I can simplify the equation 3x-x+2=12 by one step.
The outcome of simplification should be 2x+2=12.

Next you must subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the x. The new equation should be 2x = 10.

Lastly you must divide both sides by 2, the answer you should get is x=5, D.

What is the gravity of a location if the mass of an object is 300 kg and it has a weight of 450N ?
kozerog [31]

The gravity is 1.5m\s^2

Further explanation:

The weight of any object is given by the product of mass and gravity of the object

Let

m denote the mass of object

g be the gravity

and

w be the weight

Then the statement can be mathematically written as:

w=m*g

Given

m=300kg

w=450N

Putting the values of m and w into the formula

450=g*300\\g= \frac{450}{300}\\g=1.5\ ms^{-2}

The gravity is 1.5m\s^2

Keywords: Mass, Gravity

Answer:

(3x + 4)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 + x - 4

use middle term break method

we need two number which gives 12 when multiplied and 1 when subtracted

3x^2 + (4 - 3)x - 4

3x^2 + 4x - 3x - 4

x(3x + 4) -1(3x + 4)

(3x + 4)(x - 1)

Jeremy is given the choice between two chocolates, X and Y. Which one should he choose to get the most chocolate possible, and h
inn [45]

Answer:

A. It does not matter. The volumes of X and Y are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the pyramid = Base area × Height

For rectangular pyramid X:

Given Height of pyramid = 10cm

Base area = Length × Breadth

Base Area = 6cm×5cm = 30cm²

Volume = 10×30

Volume of the pyramid = 300cm²

For pyramid Y:

Given Height = 10cm

Base area = 1/2 base×height

Base area ,= 1/2 × 7.5×8

Base area = 30cm²

Volume of the triangular pyramid = 10×30 = 300cm³

We can see that the volume of X and Y is the same, therefore the type of chocolate Jeremy chose doesn't matter.
