Answer: the box contained 9 square chocolates and 15 round chocolates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of square chocolates contained in the box.

Let y represent the number of round chocolates contained in the box.

The box of chocolates contains square chocolates, which weigh 10g each and round chocolates which weigh 8g each. The combined weight of all the chocolates is 210g. It means that

10x + 8y = 210- - - - - - - - - - -1

The number of round chocolates is 3 less than twice the number of square chocolates. It means that

y = 2x - 3

Substituting y = 2x - 3 into equation 1, it becomes

10x + 8(2x - 3) = 210

10x + 16x - 24 = 210

26x = 210 + 24

26x = 234

x = 234/26

x = 9

y = 2x - 3 = 2 × 9 - 3

y = 18 - 3

y = 15

A line passes through (9, –9) and (10, –5).Write an equation for the line in point-slope form.
CaHeK987 [17]
Y - y1 = [-9-(-5)]/[(9-10] * (x - x1)

y - (-9) = [-9 + 5] / [-1] * (x - 9)

y + 9 = (-4) / (-1) * (x - 9)

y + 9 = 4(x - 9)

y + 9 = 4x - 36

y = 4x - 36 - 9

y = 4x - 45  This is the slope - intercept form.

y - 4x + 45 = 0 This is the standard form

Prove that 2✓3 is an irrational number .​
Ainat [17]

Answer:

\bold{2\sqrt{3} ~is~irrational.}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

\bold{2\sqrt{3} } is an irrational number.

Now, what is an irrational number? An irrational number is a number that goes on for ever.

Examples: \bold{\pi ,\sqrt{2} , \sqrt{3} ....}

\bold{\sqrt{3} } is a surd (an irrational square root)

If we multiply 2 times \bold{\sqrt{3} }, we will get an irrational number.

Thus, \bold{2\sqrt{3} } is an irrational number.

Hope it helps! Enjoy your day!
