Answer:

6 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Since an equal number of pieces of candy were given to children on Halloween, and obviously, a different amount of boys and girls were present on Halloween. Since 30 pieces of candy were given out to boys and 48 were given out to girls, a certain amount of candy was given to some amount of boys to equal 30, and that same amount of candy was given to another amount of girls to equal 48. Since we are looking for the greatest number of pieces given to each child, we are looking for the greatest common divisor of 30 and 48, which is 6.

Find the solution of this system of equations. Separate the x- and y- values with a comma. x-2y=-24 and x-y=4
defon
X - 2y = -24
x - y = 4

Isolate x in the first equation by adding 2y to both sides.
x = -24 + 2y  

Now plug in this value of x into the second equation.
(-24 + 2y) - y = 4
Solve. Combine all like terms, 2y - y.
-24 + y = 4
Add 24 to both sides to isolate y.
y = 28

Now plug y back into the first equation to find x.
x - 2(28) = -24
x - 56 = -24
Add 56 to both sides to isolate x.
x = 32

The solution is (32, 28).

Need help (problem and directions in the image):
Alex

Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle CDE using the side - angle - side congruence theorem. The sink hole is 52.2 ft and the Perimeter of ABC is 172.2 ft

<h3>What are congruent triangles?</h3>

Two triangles are said to be congruent if they have the same shape and their corresponding sides are congruent.

In the image shown:

AC = CE, BC = ED and they have the same angle (opposite angles are congruent).

Hence:

Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle CDE using the side - angle - side congruence theorem.

AB = DE = 52.2 ft

Perimeter of ABC = AB + BC + AC = 50 + 70 + 52.2 = 172.2 ft
