Let Lynette has originally candies in hand = x
She gave half to her son means x/2 given to son.
2 candies gave to daughter and left with 4.
x - x/2 - 2 = 4
adding 2 both sides
x - x/2 - 2 + 2 = 4 + 2
x - x/2 = 6
x /2 = 6
x = 12
Means she have 12 candies originally : Answer
Hope it will help :)
Sketch the two quadrilaterals and label them as shown in the figure below.
Let x = length of the 4th side of ABCD.
Because ABCD ~ EFGH, therefore
x/5 = 14/6
That is,
x = (5/6)*14 = 11.67 ft
Answer: D. 11.7 ft
Note: The equations written in this questions are not appropriately expressed, however, i will work with hypothetical equations that will enable you to solve any problems of this kind.
Answer:
For the system of equations to be unique, s can take all values except 2 and -2
Step-by-step explanation:

![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2s&4\\2&s\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1} \\x_{2} \end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3 \\6 \end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2s%264%5C%5C2%26s%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx_%7B1%7D%20%5C%5Cx_%7B2%7D%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-3%20%5C%5C6%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
For the system to have a unique solution, 

The nth term is 26 because each number is being added by 3. for example: 2+3=5, 5+3=8, etc.
