Use a letter to represent the unknown Twenty packs of fruit snacks come in a box. Each pack weighs 6 ounces. Students eat some. There are 48 ounces of fruit snacks left in the box. How many ounces of fruit snacks did the students eat?

x = 72 ounces

The number of ounces of fruit snacks the students ate is 72 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Let x represent the number of ounces of fruit the students ate;

The total number of ounces of fruit initially in the box is;

20 packs × 6 ounces/pack = 120 ounces

The remaining ounces of fruit is;

48 ounces

Therefore;

120 - x = 48

Solving for x;

x = 120 - 48

x = 72 ounces

The number of ounces of fruit snacks the students ate is 72 ounces

The students have eaten 72 ounces of fruit snacks.

X = 72 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

There are total 20 packs of fruit snacks

The weight of each pack is 6 ounces.

Let us first find the total weight of the snacks.

Total weight = 6*20

Total weight = 120 ounces

Let X represents the ounces of fruit snacks that students have eaten.

Let Y represents the 48 ounces of fruit snacks left in the box

Total weight = X + Y

120 = X + 48

X = 120 - 48

X = 72 ounces

Therefore, the students have eaten 72 ounces of fruit snacks.

look a the sides they are perpendicular

region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true ⇒ answer a

step-by-step explanation:

* lets study the graph and the inequality to solve the question

- the inequality y > -x - 2

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = -2 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -2)

∵ the sign of the inequality is >

∴ we shad the part over the line

  region a and b

- the inequality y < 2x + 1

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = 1 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 1)

∵ the sign of the inequality is <

∴ we shad the part under the line

  region b and c

∵ the common region between the two lines is region b

∴ region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true
