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.

    7x(2x + 4) = 10x(x+4)
  
  14x^2 + 28x = 10x^2 + 40x

  4x^2  - 12x = 0
  4x(x - 3) = 0
  4x = 0
    x = 0
 x - 3 = 0
      x = 3

answer x = 0 and x = 3

Please help me with parts A, B, and C.
leonid [27]

Answer:

  (a) scalene, see attachment

  (b) acute, see attachment

  (c) correct; isosceles

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The sides of the triangle all have different lengths, so the triangle is scalene. Differences in coordinates between the points of the triangle are (6, 2), (5, 2), and (4, 1), so no two distances between these points can be the same.

__

(b) The angle opposite the longest side is clearly an acute angle, so the triangle is an acute triangle.

__

(c) Miles and Brad live on the same north/south line. Jose lives at a distance that is halfway between those houses in the north-south direction. Hence the distance to Miles' and Brad's houses must be the same from Jose's house. That means the triangle connecting Miles', Brad's, and Jose's houses will be an isosceles triangle.
