\bf \begin{cases}
I=\textit{Inessa's tomatoes amount}\\
R=\textit{Ralph's tomatoes amount}
\end{cases}~\hspace{4em}
\stackrel{\textit{their ratio is 5:6}}{\cfrac{I}{R}=\cfrac{5}{6}}\implies I=\cfrac{5R}{6}
\\\\[-0.35em]
\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{half of Inessa's tomatoes}}{\cfrac{5R}{6}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{5R}{12}}~\hspace{4em}\stackrel{\textit{Ralph gets Inessa's half}}{R+\cfrac{5R}{12}}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{Ralph's new amount}}{850}


\bf ~\dotfill\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by the }\stackrel{LCD}{12}}{12\left( R+\cfrac{5R}{12} \right)=12(850)}\implies 12R+5R=10200
\\\\\\
17R=10200\implies R=\cfrac{10200}{17}\implies \boxed{R=600}


if you wonder why we multiplied by the LCD, is just to do away with the denominators.

Answer:

1 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

first find volume of smaller cubes

V = lwh

S = 1/3*1/3*1/3

S = 1/27

find volume of large cube. there are 27 smaller cubes.

V = 27S

V = 27(1/27)

V = 1

S: volume of small cube

V: volume of large cube

The sum of two numbers is six, and the difference is 10. Find the numbers.
pashok25 [27]
First no. = x 
Second no. = y

Equation Formation
x + y = 6..........equation(i)
x - y = 10...........equation (ii)


x = 6 - y
6 - y - y = 10
6 - 2 y = 10
-2 y = 10 -6
-2 y = 4
   y = -2

x = 6 + 2
x = 8

Answer = 8 , -2

If two distinct planes intersect , then their intersection is a line . Which geometry term does the statement represent
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

POSTULATE

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>A postulate is a statement that is assumed true without proof. A theorem is a true statement that can be proven </em>

<em> </em>

<em>  </em>

<em> </em>

<em>In geometry, the theorem is considered valid or correct with which its assertion is practically not refuted by almost anyone, whether it is really true or not. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>  </em>

<em> </em>

<em>This, in practice, implies that all students of the subject share the same criteria on the theory. Thus, the postulates, in short, have the following characteristics: </em>

<em> </em>

<em>  They are presumed true by most of the scholars in the field. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Its contradiction goes against the very essence of the subject. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Postulate 6: If two planes intersect, then their intersection is a line.</em>

<em />

<em>See Attachment for Details ^^</em>

<em>The image attached  represents the statement given in the question (If two distinct planes intersect, then their intersection is a line)</em>

<em>Therefore</em><em>, </em>

<em> </em>

<em>The Geometry term that represents the statement above is POSTULATE</em>
