T = large candles and s = small candles

3t + 5s = 6.40
4t + 6s = 7.50

^^ this would be ur system of equations

Answer:

3t + 5s = 6.40

4t + 6s = 7.50

These two equations can be used to determine, t, the cost of a large candle, and s, the cost of a small candle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the the letters t represents the cost of a large candle, and s represents the cost of a small candle.

The cost of 3 large candles and 5 small candles is $6.40

3t + 5s = 6.40

The cost of 4 large candles and 6 small candles is $7.50

4t + 6s = 7.50

These two equations can be used to determine, t, the cost of a large candle, and s, the cost of a small candle.

Which of the following equations have exactly one solution?

lukranit [14]

Answer: B) 6x - 6 = 15x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find our answer, we need to first work out each equation.

A) 6x - 15 = 6x + 15

First, cancel out the equal terms.

6x - 6x - 15 = 15

-15 = 15

This statement is false.

B) 6x - 6 = 15x + 15

-9x = 21

x = -7/3

<u>This statement has one solution. </u>

C) 6x - 6 = 6x + 15

-6 = 15

This statement is false.

D) 6x + 15= 6x + 15

15 = 15

This statement has infine solutions.

8/7=5/p<br><br> What is the answer

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

p = 4.375

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{8}{7} = \frac{5}{p}$

Here we will just Cross-Multiply;

8(p) = 5(7)

8p = 35

Divide both sides by 8;

p = 4.375

Answer:

x=27

Step-by-step explanation:

expanding the above expression we get

5x+5=4x+32

grouping numbers with coefficient of x at the left side and constant at the right side we get

5x-4x=32-5

x=27

Choose the Athat seems to be congruent to the given one.<br> ΔABD=Δ

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Triangle AEC

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABD seems to be congruent to triangle AEC, because AD looks like it's equal to AC, AB looks like it's equal to AE, and BD looks like it's equal to EC, satisfying the criteria for an SSS congruence. Of course you could also go by the angles for SAS, SAS or AAS.

Use algebra to solve 3x+4 = 1/x<br> The exact solutions are x=<br> Х

skad [1K]

Answer:

Ignore the A before the ±, it wouldn't let me type it correctly.

$x=\frac{2±\sqrt{7} }{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4 = 1 ÷ x

3x + 4 - 4 = 1 ÷ x - 4

3x = 1 ÷ x - 4

$3x=\frac{1}{x} +\frac{x(-4)}{x}$

$3x=\frac{1+x(-4)}{x}$

$3x=\frac{1-4x}{x}$

$x(3x)=x(\frac{1-4x}{x})$

x · 3x = - 4x + 1

3x² = - 4x + 1

3x² - (- 4x + 1) = 0

3x² + 4x - 1 = 0

Ignore the A before the ±, it wouldn't let me type it correctly.

$x=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

a = 3

b = 4

c = - 1

$x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{4^{2}-4((3)(-1)) } }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{16-4((3)(-1)) } }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{16+12 } }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{28 } }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{(2)(14) } }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{(2)(2)(7) } }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{2 } \sqrt{2}\sqrt{7} }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±2\sqrt{7} }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±2\sqrt{7} }{6}$

Two separate equations

$x=\frac{-4+2\sqrt{7} }{6}$

$x=\frac{2+\sqrt{7} }{3}$

$x=\frac{-4-2\sqrt{7} }{6}$

$x=\frac{2-\sqrt{7} }{3}$
