Answer:

The answer to your question is  He bought 7 large candles and 9 small candles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Large candles = L    cost = $7

small candles = s     cost = $3

Total cost = $76

Total candles = 16

Process

- Write two equations

                                    L  +  s  =  16     ------------ (I)

                                   7L +  3s = 76    ------------- (II)

- Solve the system of equations by elimination

  Multiply equation I by -7

                                 -7L - 7s = -112

                                  7L  + 3s = 76

Simplify

                                    0 - 4s = - 36

Solve for s

                                            s = -36 / -4

                                            s = 9

Substitute s in equation I

                                  L  + 9 = 16

Solve for L

                                  L = 16 - 9

                                   L = 7

What is the area of the figure?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

80 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You can split it into a rectangle and a triangle. The area of the rectangle would be 2 * 16 = 32 square feet.

Next, you need to find the height of the triangle. To do this, you can split the triangle into two right triangles and use the pythagorean theorem to find the height. The dimensions of one of the right triangle is 8 for one of the legs and 10 for the hypotenuse. Using the pythagorean theorem, 8^2 + b^2 = 10^2, which is 64 + b^2 = 100, so b^2 = 36 and b = 6. This means that the height is 6. Now, you find the area of the triangle and you get 16 * 6 / 2 = 48.

Adding the area of the rectangle and the triangle: 32 + 48 = 80

Not sure why that's not an answer choice, I'm fairly confident it's right.

Joe will build a rectangular pen for his dog. A wall will form one side of the pen. Joe has 40 ft of fencing to form the other t
ra1l [238]
The length would be 16 ft on both sides.. The width would be 7 ft, I think since a wall is forming one side, and he 40 ft, so in order to make the other three side the maximum would be 39 ft, so I think you get it now. This is just my guess... I'm only in sixth grade :/
