Answer: 125 cans

Pay attention to the word "times". "Times" means to multiply. We don't know how many cans we have right now. If we want to get up to 1000 cans of food. And we need to get 8 'times' the amount we already have, why not do the opposite of multilpication, and divide. So, you divide 1000 by 8. You get 125. Now, you can multilpy 125 by 8 and get 1000.

Hope this helps.

Divide 1000 by 8 which would give you 125. So they have 125 cans and they need to collect 8 times as many, meaning 8 times of what they have which is 125. And 125 times 8 is equal to 1000. YOU'RE WELCOME :D

Of the four choices given, which two, when written as a system, have a solution of (-4,5)?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

both choices with 2x+y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

to have the solution (-4, 5), that point must be on both equations/functions, meaning it must be on either one.

in other words, if the point is not on at least one of the functions, it cannot be a solution for that system.

the given function

2x + y = -3

looks like for the point (-4, 5)

2×-4 + 5 = -3

-8 + 5 = -3

-3 = -3

correct.

but

-2x + y = -3

looks like for (-4, 5)

-2×-4 + 5 = -3

8 + 5 = -3

13 = -3

wrong. the point is not on this function.

as we can therefore rule out 2 of the answer options, the other 2 most be correct.

A special deck of cards has ten cards. Four are green, three are blue, and three are red. When a card is picked, its color of it
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

P(A) = 3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A)=P(blue)P(head)=(3/10)(1/2)=3/20

as there are 10 cards in total, out of which 3 are blue so the probability to get the blue card is, P(blue) = 3/10. and the probability of getting a head when a coin is tossed is P(head) = 1/2.

So in total

P(A) = P(blue)*p(head) = (3/10)*(1/2) = 3/20 = 0.15

Find the values of x and y.
Artist 52 [7]

Hi! Hope this helps, and if it does, please mark brainliest!

Answer:

y = 43 and x = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a triangle is 180 degrees (each side equals 180 since they are their own triangles) We will focus on the left triangle. Since x is a right angle, it is 90 degrees. Since there is a slash across the two sides of the main triangle, that means both sides are equal. This means that the bottom left angle, the one above b, is equal to 47 degrees. That means we know two angles out of 3. For the sake of simplicity, the bottom left angle, the one above b, is point z. So point z is 47, and x is 90, added they are 137. Subtract that from 180, you will get 43. 43 is y.
