Answer:
Tootsie Rolls = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Milky Ways and Tootsie Rolls together were 15 more than the number of Reese's Cups.
There were 4 fewer Reese's Cups than Hershey Bars.
There were 12 Milky Ways and 14 Hershey Bars.
Solution
Milky Ways and Tootsie Rolls = Reese's Cups + 15
There were 4 fewer Reese's Cups than Hershey Bars.
Hershey Bars = 14
Then,
Reese's Cups = 14 - 4
= 10
Milky ways = 12
Hershey bars = 14
Reese's Cups = 10
Milky ways = 12
Milky Ways + Tootsie Rolls = Reese's Cups + 15
12 + Tootsie Rolls = 10 + 15
12 + Tootsie Rolls = 25
Subtract 12 from both sides
Tootsie Rolls = 25 - 12
= 13
Tootsie Rolls = 13
(6x-2)(6x-2) = 36x-12x-12x+4 = 36x+4
Answer:
A. 3x + (x+8) = -22 - 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number equal x.
Set up the first half of the equation.
The sum of three times the number and 8 more than the number can be written as:
3x + (x+8)
Sum means that you add the components.
Set up the second half of the equation.
The difference between -22 and twice the number can be written as:
-22 - 2x
Difference means subtraction, and because -22 is written first, that is the number that you subtract <em>from</em>.
If you set the halves of the equation equal, you get:
3x + (x+8) = -22 - 2x
Therefore, the answer is A.
