Your grandmother always has a jar of cookies on her counter. One day while you are visiting, you eat 5 cookies from the jar. In the equation below, c is the number of cookies remaining in the jar and b is the number of cookies in the jar before your visit.

b - 5 = c

Step-by-step explanation:

if you take the number of cookies before the visit (B) and then you eat 5, that would be (B - 5). after you eat the cookies, C is the amount left. so it’s a subtraction problem without 2 numbers. so the equation would be

b - 5 = c

or

before - 5 = after

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
