Answer:

12 Small, 16 Large

Step-by-step explanation:

When you do the math of getting 16 large candles and 12 small candles with respects to the price. You get the math of:

(6×16) + (4×12)

96 + 48

144

16 and 12 will make 28 which proves to be correct as 28 candles were sold

There is a simple algebraic solution to this; a system of equations!

x = small candles and y = large candles

4x + 6y = 144
x + y = 28

Now there are two ways to solve this; substitution and elimination.

Let’s use substitution for practice with the distributive property...

4x + 6y = 144
y = -x + 28

Put the second equation into the first...

4x + 6(-x + 28) = 144
4x - 6x + 168 = 144
-2x + 168 = 144
-2x = -24
x = 12

Plug this into one of the original equations....

12 + y = 28
y = 16

And there you have it! You sold 12 small candles and 16 large candles.

The coordinates of points A, B, and C are (5, 4), (–2, 1), and (4, –4), respectively. Which point, B or C, is closer to point A?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The distance between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) = √((x1-x2)2+(y1-y2)2) Distance between A and B = √((5--2)2+(4-1)2) = √(72+32) = √(49+9) = √58 = 7.62 Distance between A and C = √(12+82) = √65 = 8.06 Point B is closer to A. Another method to solve this problem is to draw the points on a graph paper and measure distance with a ruler.

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. (-7, 10) and (4,-9)
posledela

Answer:

(-20 -  10) / (-12 - (-10))

-30 / -2

30/2

now the midpoint would be half the two points

30/2 ÷ 2/2 = 15/1

So add 15 to -20 (or subtract 15 from 10) for the y, and add 1 to -12 (or subtract 1 from -10) for the x.
