Answer:

  • 20 taffy bags and 15 caramel candy bags

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • t = the number of taffy bags
  • c = the number of caramel bags
  • Number of taffy's are 5 more than caramel bags
  • Taffy bags weigh 8 ounces and caramel bags weigh 16 ounces
  • Total weight is 400 ounces

<u>Equations:</u>

  • t = c + 5             (the difference in number of bags)
  • 8t + 16c = 400  (the weight of the bags)

<u>Simplify the second equation by dividing all terms by 8:</u>

  • t + 2c = 50

<u>Substitute t and solve for c:</u>

  • c + 5 + 2c = 50
  • 3c = 50 - 5
  • 3c = 45
  • c = 45/3
  • c = 15

<u>Find the value of t:</u>

  • t = 15 + 5 = 20

<u>Answer:</u>

  • 20 taffy bags and 15 caramel candy bags

Find a cubic function with the given zeros. (1 point) Square root of seven. , - Square root of seven. , -4
Debora [2.8K]

Given :

Three roots , \sqrt{7},\ -\sqrt{7},\ -4 .

To Find :

A cubic function with the given zeros.

Solution :

Equation of polynomial of 3 zeroes is given by :

(x-a_1)(x-a_2)(x-a_3)=0\\\\(x-\sqrt{7})(x+\sqrt{7})(x+4)=0\\\\( x^2-7)(x+4)=0\\\\x^3+4x^2-7x-28=0

Therefore, the cubic function of given zeroes is x^3+4x^2-7x-28=0.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Sammy earns money for college by walking dogs and mowing lawns. She earns $3 for each dog she walks and $25 for each lawn she mo
Oxana [17]

Answer:

x = 3w + 25m

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of dogs she walks (w) and the number of lawns that Sammy mows (m) need to be multiplied by the amount of money that Sammy makes from each individual action. Both of these products are then added together to equal the total amount of money that Sammy has earned. All of this can be represented with the following expression where x is the total amount of money earned...

x = 3w + 25m
