Let x be the weight of the candy in pounds, then 0.9x is the weight of the milk chocolate in pounds

The weight of the caramels in the candy is 3 pounds, so

 

An equation that can be used find the total number of pounds of milk chocolate and caramels in the candy is

0.9x + 3 = x ⇒ x = 30

So there are 0.9(30) = 27 pounds of milk chocolate in the candy.

hope this helps

Write the point-slope form of the line that passes through (-8, 2) and is perpendicular to a line with a slope of -8
Schach [20]

Answer:

y - 2 = (1/8)(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is -8.  That means the slope of any line perpendicular to the given line will be the negative reciprocal of -8, which would be (1/8).

Then the desired equation is

y - 2 = (1/8)(x + 8)

Help please I'm stuck show and explain your work
Deffense [45]

The expressions D, E, and F represent a correct solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

First, we need to solve the given equation and find the value of x which satisfies the equation.

6(x+4)=20, (x+4) = \frac{20}{6}   = 3.333,

x = 3.333 - 4 = -0.666.

So the value of x for the given equation is -0.666.

Step 2:

Now we evaluate the values of the six given options to see which ones have an x value of -0.666.

A. \frac{20-4}{6}= \frac{16}{6}  = 2.666,

B. \frac{1}{6} (20-4)= \frac{1}{6} (16)=\frac{16}{6} = 2.666,

C. 20 -6 -4 = 20 - 10 = 10.

D. \frac{20}{6} -4= 3.333 - 4 = -0.666,

E. \frac{1}{6} (20-24) = \frac{1}{6} (-4)= -0.666,

F. (20-24)\frac{1}{6} = (-4)\frac{1}{6} = -0.666.

So the options D, E, and F represent a correct solution to the given equation.

For every boy in an advanced math course there are 3 girls who are taking the course.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

If 32 students are enrolled in the course, there would be 24 girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that For every boy in an advanced math course there are 3 girls who are taking the course.

It means if there are four students in the class. There would be 3 girls and 1 boy. Thus, 75% of the students are girls.

Given that there are 32 students enrolled in the course.

so

75% of 32 = 75/100 × 32

                 = 24

Thus, if 32 students are enrolled in the course, there would be 24 girls.
