Sara had some candy in her pocket. she first kept 2 pieces herself and then gave her 5 children 3 pieces each. if she didn't have any candy left over, how many pieces of candy did she start with

17 pieces. She had two and she had to have 15 to give to the children. If each child got 3 and there is 5. This turns into 3*5=15. Then you would add 15+2 to get 17

the answer is y < -3 or   y > 3

-3y > 7 + 2

-3 y > 9

y < -3

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
