Marla noticed that her friend Ron had three times as many pieces of candy as she did. She told him, "If you give me seven pieces of your candy, we'll have exactly the same number of pieces." Ron responded, "I didn't know that until you mentioned it. But I'll make you a deal: If you can show me how to solve this puzzle using algebra, I'll give you the seven pieces. "One minute later, Ron was shocked to see that Marla had solved it perfectly. Can you do the same?
Answer:
This question seems to be asking for the work, so I put it below.
Anyhow, Marla had 3.5 candies, and Ron had 10.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 3x - 7 (lets set this as "a") { a = 3x - 7}
x + 7 = 3x -7 + 7
x + 7 = 3x
( x + 7 ) / 3 = 3/3x
( x + 7 ) / 3 = x = *(same as "a") {a}
( x + 7 ) / 3 = 3x - 7
( x + 7 ) / 3 * 3 = ( 3x - 7 ) * 3
x + 7 = 9x - 21
x - x + 7 = 9x - x - 21
7 = 8x - 21
7 + 21 = 8x - 21 + 21
28 = 8x
28 / 8 = 8/8x
3.5 = x
We can plug this back into the original equation and find that it is correct because:
x = 3x - 7
x = 3.5 =====
3.5 = 3( 3.5 ) - 7
3.5 = 10.5 - 7
3.5 = 3.5
Answer:
Marla has 7 and Ron has 21
Step-by-step explanation:
lets take
no. of candies Marla has as "x"
and no. of candies Ron has will be "3x"
Marla says if Ron gives her seven candies, they will have the same no. of candies
so your equation will be -
x + 7 = 3x - 7 (as Marla gets the candy, Ron loses the candy)
3x - x = 7 + 7
2x = 14
∴x = 7
and 3x = 3 x 7 = 21

What is the measure of m?

E
n
m = [?]
====================================================
Explanation:
The two smaller triangles are proportional, which lets us set up this equation
5/n = n/15
Cross multiplying leads to
5*15 = n*n
n^2 = 75
----------
Apply the pythagorean theorem on the smaller triangle on top, or on the right.
a^2+b^2 = c^2
5^2+n^2 = m^2
25+75 = m^2
100 = m^2
m^2 = 100
m = sqrt(100)
m = 10

take a square of arbitary measure assuming its area is one square unit.divide it in to four equal parts and shade one of them.again take one shaded part of that square and shade one fourth of it.repeat the same process continuously and find the sum area of shaded region
Answer:
In recreational mathematics, a square array of numbers, usually positive integers, is called a magic square if the sums of the numbers in each row, each column, and both main diagonals are the same.[1][2] The order of the magic square is the number of integers along one side (n), and the constant sum is called the magic constant. If the array includes just the positive integers {\displaystyle 1,2,...,n^{2}}{\displaystyle 1,2,...,n^{2}}, the magic square is said to be normal. Some authors take magic square to mean normal magic square.[3]
The smallest (and unique up to rotation and reflection) non-trivial case of a magic square, order 3
Magic squares that include repeated entries do not fall under this definition and are referred to as trivial. Some well-known examples, including the Sagrada Família magic square and the Parker square are trivial in this sense. When all the rows and columns but not both diagonals sum to the magic constant we have semimagic squares (sometimes called orthomagic squares).
The mathematical study of magic squares typically deals with its construction, classification, and enumeration. Although completely general methods for producing all the magic squares of all orders do not exist, historically three general techniques have been discovered: by bordering method, by making composite magic squares, and by adding two preliminary squares. There are also more specific strategies like the continuous enumeration method that reproduces specific patterns. Magic squares are generally classified according to their order n as: odd if n is odd, evenly even (also referred to as "doubly even") if n is a multiple of 4, oddly even (also known as "singly even") if n is any other even number. This classification is based on different techniques required to construct odd, evenly even, and oddly even squares. Beside this, depending on further properties, magic squares are also classified as associative magic squares, pandiagonal magic squares, most-perfect magic squares, and so on. More challengingly, attempts have also been made to classify all the magic squares of a given order as transformations of a smaller set of squares. Except for n ≤ 5, the enumeration of higher order magic squares is still an open challenge. The enumeration of most-perfect magic squares of any order was only accomplished in the late 20th century.
Magic squares have a long history, dating back to at least 190 BCE in China. At various times they have acquired occult or mythical significance, and have appeared as symbols in works of art. In modern times they have been generalized a number of ways, including using extra or different constraints, multiplying instead of adding cells, using alternate shapes or more than two dimensions, and replacing numbers with shapes and addition with geometric operations.

Answer:
[tex]-73[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: My explanation is based of the order-of-operations
First, using the order-of-operations, we evaluate the expressions in parentheses. Fully simplifying [tex](5-7)^2[/tex] gives us: [tex](5-7)^2 = -2^2 = 4[/tex].
Next, we do [tex]6\cdot2[/tex] giving us [tex]12[/tex]. So far, our expression is simplified to [tex]\frac{84}{12} + 4 - 72 - 12[/tex].
We also know that [tex]\frac{84}{12}[/tex] is just [tex]7[/tex] so we can replace that value in the expression leaving us with: [tex]7+4-72-12[/tex]. Now, we can solve it in simple steps!
1) [tex]7+4=11[/tex]
3) [tex]11-72=-61[/tex]
4) [tex]-61-12=-73[/tex]
Our answer is [tex]-73[/tex]

m(0)+1=m-1
1=m-1
m=2
use π/4 now
msin²(π/4)+cos²(π/4)=m-1
m(1/2)+(1/2)=m-1
m+1=2(m-1)
m+1=2m-2
-m=-3

Step-by-step explanation:
First use the Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2.
12^2+b^2=20^2. Solve the exponents: 144+b^2=400. Then, subtract the 144 from 400. That would be 256. Therefore b^2=256. Then you find the square root of 256=16.
Step-by-step explanation:
using pythogoras theory
hyp^2=opp^2+adj^2
you have been given the hyp and the opp so lets make the unknown x
20^2=12^2+x^2
400 =144+x^2
make x the subject of the formula
400-144=x^2

The estimate obtained from a sample of which of the following sizes would most likely be closest to the actual parameter value of a population?
To obtain an estimate of a parameter of a population, we use confidence intervals.
Confidence intervals:
The larger the sample size, the closest the parameter estimate is to the value of the population, as the margin of error of confidence intervals is inversely proportional to the sample size, that is, a greater sample leads to a smaller margin of error.
Thus, you should select the highest sample size in the options.

The price of 5 kg of rice is ₹83.75. How many kilograms of rice can you buy for ₹670?
Answer:
40 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{5}{83.75} :\frac{y}{670}[/tex]
y · 83.75 = 5 · 670
83.75y = 3350
83.75y ÷ 83.75 = 3350 ÷ 83.75
y = 40
The amount of rice you can buy for ₹670 is given by the equation
A = 40 kilograms
What is an Equation?
Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.
It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.
Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.
Given data ,
Let the amount of rice for ₹670 be A
Now , the equation will be
The amount for 5 kg of rice = ₹ 83.75
So , the amount for 1 kg of rice = amount for 5 kg of rice / 5
The amount for 1 kg of rice = 83.75 / 5
The amount for 1 kg of rice = ₹ 16.75
So , the amount of rice for ₹ 670 = 670 / amount for 1 kg of rice
The amount of rice for ₹ 670 = 670 / 16.75
The amount of rice for ₹ 670 = 40 kilograms
Therefore , the value of A is 40 kilograms
Hence , the amount of rice is 40 kg

In this activity, you will create an equation for a function represented by a verbal description.
Vicky charged her phone’s battery to 100 percent. Then she took the phone off the charger. When her phone is off the charger, it loses 5 percent of its battery life every hour. What function models the percentage of battery life left in terms of the number of hours since Vicky took it off the charger?
What is the initial value of the function? Is it positive or negative? Explain your answer.
What is the function’s rate of change? Is it positive or negative? Explain your answer.
Answer:
1) The initial value of the function is the y-value when the x-value is zero. The number of hours is the x-value and the percentage of battery life left is the y-value. When the number of hours, x, is 0, the percentage of remaining battery life, y, is 100 percent. So, the initial value of the function is 100. The initial value is positive because the percentage of remaining battery life cannot be negative.
2) The rate of change is the rate at which the y-value changes with respect to a change in the x-value. When off the charger, the phone loses its battery life at a constant rate of 5 percent per hour. So, the function’s rate of change is -5. The rate of change is negative because the rate indicates that the percentage of remaining battery life decreases as the number of hours increases.
Step-by-step explanation: I just did the tutorial right now i hope this helps
Answer:
part a = The number of hours since Vicky took the phone off the charger is the independent quantity, so the variable x should represent it.
part b = The percentage of battery life left in hours is the dependent quantity, so the variable y should represent it.
part c = The initial value of the function is the y-value when the x-value is zero. The number of hours is the x-value and the percentage of battery life left is the y-value. When the number of hours, x, is 0, the percentage of remaining battery life, y, is 100 percent. So, the initial value of the function is 100. The initial value is positive because the percentage of remaining battery life cannot be negative.
part d = The rate of change is the rate at which the y-value changes with respect to a change in the x-value. When off the charger, the phone loses its battery life at a constant rate of 5 percent per hour. So, the function’s rate of change is -5. The rate of change is negative because the rate indicates that the percentage of remaining battery life decreases as the number of hours increases.
part e = The rate of change of the function, m, is -5, and the initial value of the function, b, is 100. Substitute the values of m and b in the equation y = mx + b. The equation of the function that models the phone’s remaining battery life in terms of the number of hours from the time Vicky took it off the charger is y = -5x + 100.
