So we know that they spend $100 on the candles. In order to make a $125 profit, they must sell $225 worth of candles. Each candle sells for $4.50, so:
4.5x > 225 is the inequality for that. It just means $4.50 times the number of candles has to be more than the $225 we need. To simplify it, just divide both sided by 4.5:
x > 50
They have to sell more than 50 candles. Make sense?

Answer:

x=-15, y=25. (-15, 25).

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=45

x+y=10

--------------

x=10-y

2(10-y)+3y=45

20+y=45

y=45-20

y=25

x+25=10

x=10-25

GaryK [48]
2.0x10^-5 or 2.0E-5 —this is because as a small decimal number, you move the decimal to the right five spaces and then add a negative to the decimal to indicate that when you translate back (from scientific notation to 0.00002) you will move the decimal to the left

Given ADEF, which is not equal to cos(F)?<br> sin(F).<br> sin(D).<br> tan(F).<br> COS(D).
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

tan(F)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isoceles triangle, both sides are the same so both the angles are the same as well. The sine and cosine of angles D and F are going to be the exact same because of the same sides. The only one that would be different would be the tangent of F or D.

You have been saving $12 each week for many weeks. One day, you decide to count your savings and find that you have $384. Choose
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

D or the last one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Honestly, you got me kinda confused. Is it saying that there is multiple equations to answer this? Well anyways, D would be the answer. When the variable (w) is beside the coefficient, it means you multiple them together. (W) standing for weeks multiplied by 12 which is how much you earn each week would get you the total amount. The rest just don't make sense.
