Cameron started with 20 pieces of gum and gave away x number of pieces. Connor started with 35 pieces of gum and gave away twice as many as Cameron did. How many pieces of gum did Cameron give away if they had the same number of pieces left? A - 5 B - 15 C - 18 D - 8

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Cameron started with 20 pieces of gum and gave away x number of pieces.

Cameron = 20 - x

Connor started with 35 pieces of gum and gave away twice as many as Cameron did.

Connor = 35 - 2x

Equate both Cameron and Connor expression

20 - x = 35 - 2x

Collect like terms

20 - 35 = -2x + x

-15 = -x

Divide both sides by -1

15 = x

x = 15

Check:

Cameron = 20 - x

= 20 - 15

= 5

Connor = 35 - 2x

= 35 - 2(15)

= 35 - 30

= 5

g(x) is the negative form of f(x)? because whenever its the negative form it reflects its self over the x axis. idk if this is right though.

step-by-step explanation:

the highest percentage for deaths in construction from highest to lowest is as follows: falls, struck by objects, electrocution, and caught-in/between. these four are collectively known as fatal four.

in the case of falls, the type that is responsible for the overall highest death in the category is falls from roofs.
