The answer would be 0
Reminder: when you see “-(-“ always think of plus sign “+.” (My teacher in middle school taught me that). So, -3+3 would be that the answer is 0.
Answer:
8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Area of a rectangle</u> = <em>Width</em> multiplied by Length
Substitute in all the known numbers into this formula to get
<u>72</u> = <em>(9)</em> × 
Solve the equation for x, to find out the length
Length of the rectangle =
The equation is 314 = 1,200 - 240x
1,200 is the number of M&M's it starts with
The problem said the family eats 1/5th of the candy every day
1/5 of 1,200 is 240
It is a -240 because the amount of m&m's is getting fewer each day
The x stands for the number of days
Sorry but I'm not sure if I could answer your problem exactly
The answer is 3.69 days
Because there isn't an exact day that there would exactly 314 M&M's left
