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

It is impossible to list the set of rational numbers using the roster method because the set of rational numbers is uncountable/inumerable.

There is no way to list all the members of the set of rational numbers.

How to work -1x-2y=-13 x-2y=11 equation by substitution
Norma-Jean [14]
Well if you're wanting to use substitution, you first have to end up with one term on either side of the equation. Use the second one as it's easiest. 

So: x-2y=11, so find -2y as there is a -2y in the first equation. 
then that becomes -2y=11-x. then sub that into equation 1, and you get:

-x+11-x=-13, which equals to -2x+11=-13, which is -2x=-24, so therefore

x=12. then chuck the x into any of the equations to find what y equals. 

hope this helps!

Write a 3-digit number that is divisible by both 3 and 4. Explain how you know this number is divisible by 3 and 4.
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

let us assume the 3 digit number be 984

To check weather the number is divisible by 3 and 4 then when should know the divisibility rule of 3 and 4.

A number is said to be divisible by 3 when the sum of each digit of the number is divisible by 3. Example 9+8+4 = 21 is divisible by 3 hence the number is divisible by 3.

A number is said to be divisible by 4 when the last two digit is divisible by 4 like 84 is divisible by 4 hence 984 is divisible by 4.
