C, D, and E all represent parts of the situation.  

A does not, because x is actually 55 smaller than y, which is why both D and E work.  

B does not because it's doubling the sum of x = y, but the description says to double x and then add y (which is why C works).

X and y are the numbers
y>x

sum (addition) of twice a number (2x) and larger number (y) is (=) 145
2x+y=145

difference between them is 55 (y is bigger so it would be x is subtracted from y)
y-x=55

so the equations are

2x+y=145 and
y-x=55

we could add x to both sides in the 2nd equation to obtain
y=x+55, but that doesn't really represent that the difference is 55, though they are the same euation

so I would say C and D only

Answer:

Smaller=18 degrees; larger= 162 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so first supplementary angles mean that the two angles added together will equal 180 degrees.

so 1x + 9x = 180 (combine like terms)

10x=180 (divide each side by 10)

x=18

so the smaller angle is 18 because its only 1x, and the larger angle is 162 because 18x9=162

check: 18 + 162 = 180

It could sometimes be proportional. The reasoning here is that if all the items have different prices it won't be, however if the items you are ordering all have the same price they will be!
