Answer:

4 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of candy she has is 15 + 9 = 24 pieces. She has three younger brothers, and 24 is divisible by 3 (24/3 = 8). 15 and 9 are also both divisible by 3 (15/3 = 5 and 9/3 = 3).

-She can give them each 5 tootsie rolls.

-She can give them each 3 twizzlers.

- She can give them each 5 tootsie rolls and 3 twizzlers (if she were to give them all of the candy)

- She can give them one of each which would leave her 12 tootsie rolls and 6 twizzlers (which is the best option if she's trying to save for herself)

I see 4 ways to do this, and 2 ways after her mother asks her to give at least 1 type of candy to each of them.

Ramon wants to plant cucumbers and tomatoes in his garden. He has room for
yarga [219]

Answer:

Number of Cucumbers = 12

Number of Tomatoes = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of cucumber be c and number of tomatoes be t

Since he has room for 16 plants, we can write:

c + t = 16

He wants to plant 3 times as many cucumbers as tomatoes. We can write:

c = 3t

We can substitute this in 1st equation and solve for t:

c + t = 16

3t + t = 16

4t = 16

t = 16/4 = 4

And c = 3t

c = 3(4) = 12

Number of Cucumbers = 12

Number of Tomatoes = 4

What is true about the completely simplified sum of the polynomials 3x2y2 − 2xy5 and −3x2y2 + 3x4y?
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The simplified sum of these polynomials is 3x^4y - 2xy^5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to remember that we can only add together like terms in this case, there are only two like terms. Both of the first terms end in x^2y^2. So, we add these two together.

3x^2y^2 - 3x^2y^2 = 0

Since they cancel out, we simply just put the other two terms as our answer.

3x^4y - 2xy^5

The graph of the function f(x) = –(x + 6)(x + 2) is shown below. On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens down. It goes through (
seropon [69]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = –(x + 6)(x + 2)

The function is increasing until it reaches the vertex, so it will increase until x=-4.  The function will decrease after the vertex, so after x = -4

increasing: -∞ < x < -4

decreasing : -4 < x < ∞
