Answer: 22 small snow cones and 34 large snow cones were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small snow cones that were sold.

Let y represent the number of large snow cones that were sold.

Selena's snow cone stand sells small snow cones for $2 and large snow cones for $3.50. One summer day, she sold $163 worth of snow cones. This means that

2x + 3.5y = 163 - - - - - - - - - - 1

If the number of large snow cones sold was 12 more than the number of smalls snow cones, it means that

y = x + 12

Substituting y = x + 12 into equation 1, it becomes

2x + 3.5(x + 12) = 163

2x + 3.5x + 42 = 163

5.5x = 163 - 42

5.5x = 121

x = 121/.5 = 22

y = x + 12 = 22 + 12

y = 34

Find the side lengths ! help pls

(a) the given triangle is a isosceles triangle, therefore the two leg sides will be congruent, as well as the two base angles. It is given that one of the base angles ∠XYW is 70°, therefore, due to the law of a isosceles triangle, the measurement of ∠XWY is also 70°. Remember, a triangle's interior angles add up to 180°, so:

180 - (70 + 70) = 180 - 140 = 40

40° is your answer.

m∠X = 40°

(b) All sides are congruent, making it a equilateral triangle. If it is a equilateral triangle, then all the angles also have the same measurement. The total of the interior angle's measurement is 180°. Divide by the amount of angles, 3:

180/3 = 60

60° is your answer.

m∠V = 60°

A new club sent out 231 coupons to boost sales for next year's memberships. They provided 6 times as many to potential members t
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Number of coupons sent  to Existing members = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of coupons sent out = 231

Let :

6 times as many to potential members = 6 * X = 6X

while existing members = X

therefore 6X + X = 231

                 7X = 231

therefore  X = 231 / 7 = 33

so existing members = 33

while potential members = 6 * 33 = 198

Two cars leave Denver at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One car travels 10 mi/h faster than the other car. The
MaRussiya [10]
The speed of one car is 'S'.  The speed of the other car is (S + 10).

In 5 hours, the first car travels (5S) miles, and the other car travels  5(S + 10) miles.

Since they're going in opposite directions, the distance between them at any time
is the sum of the distance that each one has traveled.

500 = (5S) + 5(S + 10)

500 = 5S  +  5S + 50

500 = 10S + 50

Subtract 50 from each side:

450 = 10S

Divide each side by 10

S = <u>45</u>

S + 10 = <u>55</u>
