(Y+40)+(x+2y)=180
3y+x=140

2x+(y+20)=180
2x+y=160

Simultaneous equation
3y+x=140
Y+2x=160
Solve for y
Y=24
3(24)+x=140
X=140-72=68

Each of six jars contains the same number of candies. Alice moves half of the candies from the first jar to the second jar. Then
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The number of candies in the sixth jar is 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that there are <em>x</em> number of candies in each of the six jars.

⇒ After Alice moves half of the candies from the first jar to the second jar, the number of candies in the second jar is:

\text{Number of candies in the 2nd jar}=x+\fracx}{2}=\frac{3}{2}x

⇒ After Boris moves half of the candies from the second jar to the third jar, the number of candies in the third jar is:

\text{Number of candies in the 3rd jar}=x+\frac{3x}{4}=\frac{7}{4}x

⇒ After Clara moves half of the candies from the third jar to the fourth jar, the number of candies in the fourth jar is:

\text{Number of candies in the 4th jar}=x+\frac{7x}{4}=\frac{15}{8}x

⇒ After Dara moves half of the candies from the fourth jar to the fifth jar, the number of candies in the fifth jar is:

\text{Number of candies in the 5th jar}=x+\frac{15x}{16}=\frac{31}{16}x

⇒ After Ed moves half of the candies from the fifth jar to the sixth jar, the number of candies in the sixth jar is:

\text{Number of candies in the 6th jar}=x+\frac{31x}{32}=\frac{63}{32}x

Now, it is provided that at the end, 30 candies are in the fourth jar.

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

\text{Number of candies in the 4th jar}=40\\\\\frac{15}{8}x=40\\\\x=\frac{40\times 8}{15}\\\\x=\frac{64}{3}

Compute the number of candies in the sixth jar as follows:

\text{Number of candies in the 6th jar}=\frac{63}{32}x\\

                                                    =\frac{63}{32}\times\frac{64}{3}\\\\=21\times2\\\\=42

Thus, the number of candies in the sixth jar is 42.

What’s the answer to the question down below
levacccp [35]

Any linear equation can be written as

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

m = 1/2 in this case. It represents the idea that the snow fell at a rate of 1/2 inch per hour. In other words, the snow level went up 1/2 an inch each time an hour passed by.

b = 8 is the y intercept. It's the starting amount of snow. We start off with 8 inches of snow already.

The info "snow fell for 9 hours" doesn't appear to be relevant here.
