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.

MariettaO [177]
Oh, I SEE what da pattern is! =D
You see, like in this problem:
2 + 5 = 12
They did 5 times 2 = 10, plus da 2 in da problem = 12.
Same with 3 + 6 = 21, 6 times 3 = 18, 18 plus da 3 given in da problem = 21.
Just like 1 + 4 = 5, 4 times 1 = 4, plus da 1 in da problem = 5.
SO,
with that strategy, 8 +11 = 96, because 8 times 11 = 88, plus da 8 given in da problem = 96.
I hope I helped! =D

Choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality −x − 10 &gt; 14 + 2x. −x − 10 &gt; 14 + 2x −3x − 10 &gt; 14 ____
Svet_ta [14]

Answer: -3x> 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality -x - 10 > 14 + 2x, we need to solve for "x".

We can subtract -2x to both sides:

-2x-x - 10 > 14 + 2x-2x

-3x- 10 > 14 (This step is shown in the exercise)

Now, we can add 10 to both sides:

-3x- 10 +10> 14+10

-3x> 24 (This step is not shown in the exercise)

And finally, divide both sides by -3:

\frac{-3x}{-3}>\frac{24}{-3}

x< -8 (This is shown in the exercise)

Therefore, the missing step is:

-3x> 24
