Answer: he made 4 bracelets and 3 necklaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bracelets made.

Let y represent number of necklaces made.

The jeweler made a total of 7 bracelets and necklaces. This means that

x + y = 7

The amount of gold in each bracelet is 6 grams and the amount of gold in each necklace is 16 grams. The total amount of gold used was 72 grams. This means that

6x + 16y = 72 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 7 - y into equation 1, it becomes

6(7 - y) + 16y = 72

42 - 6y + 16y = 72

- 6y + 16y = 72 - 42

10y = 30

y = 30/10

y = 3

x = 7 - y = 7 - 3

x = 4

The translation that maps triangle ABC to A prime B prime C prime would be a reflection across the y axis. This is because when you reflect something, you are pretty much flipping it. When you reflect across the y axis, you are flipping the triangle across the y axis. Take one point for example. I will use C. Notice how the point C is 3 units away from the y axis. So the same way you would move the point 3 units right from the y axis, and that would be your new point. This sounds kind of complicated, so I will give you a list of rules to make it more simple.


Reflection across y axis: (x,y) would be equal to (-x, y)
Reflection across x axis: (x,y) would be equal to (x, -y)
Reflection across y = x: (x,y) would be equal to (y,x)
Reflection across y = x: (x,y) would be equal to (-y,-x).

A reflection across y = x would be when you have a line that for every 1 it rises, it goes right 1. It is a positive line, as opposed to the y = -x line. It also has a slope of 1. I will try attaching a graph if I can.

Anyway, as I was saying. So pretty much if you don't want to go through the logic, to see whether a figure is reflected, just try each of these rules and if one works then you have your answer. Otherwise it would not be a reflection.

Thanks for being a great mod and hope this helps! :D

Malik deposited 1050 in a savings account and it earned 241.50 in simple interest after four years. Find the interest after four
kap26 [50]

Answer:

if it's true simple interest then each year's interest is the same so interest for one year is a quarter of 241.50 which give you the rate but if each year's interest in left in the account the result will be different , it is a really poorly worded question
