Leonard it sells small watermelons for seven dollars each and large watermelons for $10 each one day the number of small waterme
1 answer:
He sold 32 small watermelons and 17 large watermelons.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Small watermelons = x
Large watermelons = y
Cost of one small watermelon = $7
Cost of one large watermelon = $10
According to given statement;
x = y+15 Eqn 1
7x+10y=394 Eqn 2
Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2
Dividing both sides by 17
Putting y=17 in Eqn 1
He sold 32 small watermelons and 17 large watermelons.

1. Line l; point P not on l.( Take a line I and mark point P outside it or on the line.So from point P there are infinite number of lines out of which only one line is parallel to line I. Suppose you are taking point P on line I, from that point P also infinite number of lines can be drawn but only one line will be coincident or parallel to line I.
2. Plane R is parallel to plane S; Plane T cuts planes R and S.(Imagine you are sitting inside a room ,consider two walls opposite to each other as two planes R and S and floor on which you are sitting as third plane T ,so R and S are parallel and plane T is cutting them so in this case their lines of intersect .But this is not possible in each and every case, suppose R and S planes are parallel to each other and Plane T cuts them like two faces of a building and third plane T is stairs or suppose it is in slanting position i.e not parallel to R and S so in this case also lines of intersection will be parallel.
3. △ABC with midpoints M and N.( As you know if we take a triangle ABC ,the mid points of sides AB and AC being M and N, so the line joining the mid point of two sides of a triangle is parallel to third side and is half of it.
4.Point B is between points A and C.( Take a line segment AC. Mark any point B anywhere on the line segment AC. Three possibilities arises
(i) AB > BC (ii) AB < BC (iii) AB = BC
Since A, B,C are collinear .So in each case
