Ming had some candy to give to her five
children. She first took three pieces for
herself and then evenly divided the rest
among her children. Each child received
five pieces. With how many pieces did
she start?

28 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation: 5 pieces per child x 5 children = 25 pieces of candy given to the children. 25 + the 3 pieces Ming took for herself = 28 pieces of candy altogether.

Ming had 28 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

If she took 3 from the start we can assume that the equation immediately has +3.

In algebraic terms this would be y=5x+3 and since we know the amount each child got it would be y=5(5)+3

or y=28.

Y representing how much she had from the beginning

5 for each child would be 5×5

p ÷ r = tan(x)

step-by-step explanation:

given that there is a figure below shows a right triangle: a right triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to q units and the length of the legs equal to p units and r units.

graph is missing so i will create the graph as per given information.

the angle between the legs having lengths p units and q units is y degrees. the angle between the legs having lengths r units and q units is x degrees.

now we need to find about what is p ÷ r equal to.

so we can use trigonometric ratio tan(x)=[altitude]/[base] to find the value of p ÷ r, because p is the altitude and r is the base.

p ÷ r=tan(x)

hence final answer is p ÷ r=tan(x).
