A bowl has 85 pieces of candy. Nineteen children empty the bowl of candy. Some children take 3 pieces, some children take 5 pieces, and 1 child takes 7 pieces of candy. How many children take 3 pieces of candy?

children take 3 pieces of candy are 6

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=19-1          x+y=18

3x+5y=85-7    3x+5y=78

eliminate x by multiplying the first equation by 3:

3x+3y=54

3x+5y=85   subtract

(3x+3y)-(3x+6y)=54-78

3x-3y-3x-5y=-24

-2y=-24         y=-24/-2=12

y=12 , substitute for y:

x+y=18

x=18-12

x=6

check: 3x+5y=78

3(6)+5(12)=78

18+60=78 correct

step-by-step explanation:

its 512 because parenthesis and to the 2nd power is 512 so it will be 512

step-by-step explanation:

we have

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

this is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open up

the vertex is a > vertex

the domain of the function is all real > interval (-∞,∞)

the range of the function is the > [-6.125,∞)

the function has two x->   and

the function is increasing over the > (0.25,∞)

the function is decreasing over the > (-∞,0.25)
