Quinn started off with twice as much candy as denali but then ate 4 pieces . when quinn and denali put their candy together they now have a total of 50 pieces how many pieces did denali start with?

To answer this question you will use the relationship between Denali and Quinn's number of pieces of candy. Create an equation only using d (the number of pieces of candy Denali has).

Quinn's candy - (2d + 4)
Denali's candy - d

So, (2d + 4) + d = 50.

Solve for d.

3d + 4 = 50
3d = 54
d = 18 pieces

Complete Question

A drawing of a basement uses the same scale as the example above which is 1 inch to 10 ft. The basement is 28ft wide and 35 ft long. how wide and long is the drawing? show your work

2.8 inches wide and 3.5 inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale drawing

1 inch = 10 feet

= 1 inch/10 feet

For the Width of the basement

The basement = 28ft wide

= 1inch/ 10 feet = x inch/28ft

= Cross Multiply =

10 feet × x inch = 28feet × 1 inch

x inch = 28 feet × 1 inch/10 feet

x = 2.8 inches

The drawing = 2.8 inches wide

The length of the basement = ft long

1inch/ 10 feet = x inch/35ft

= Cross Multiply =

10 feet × x inch = 35feet × 1 inch

x inch = 35 feet × 1 inch/10 feet

x = 3.5inches

Therefore, the drawing is 2.8 inches wide and 3.5 inches long
