1 answer:
Answer:
Should be used 28 pounds of pecans and 32 pounds of chocolate candies
Let
x -----> pounds of pecans used
y ----> pounds of chocolate candies used
we know that
-----> equation A
-----> -----> equation B
Solve the system of equations by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
Using a graphing tool
The solution is the point (28,32)
see the attached figure
therefore
Should be used 28 pounds of pecans and 32 pounds of chocolate candies

Answer:
NL= 2 × HI
x+24 =2 × (X+16)
x+24=2x + 32
2x-x= 24-32
x= – 8
NL=x+24 = –8 +24= 16
So ; NL= 16

No, the one that Nayo draw was not a quadrilateral since the measurements given does not give a right triangle. The values 16,20 and 25 does not agree with Pythagorean Theorem. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
Answer:
A. x = -3
B. x = 2
C. x = 9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
(A) –12x + 9 = –15x
Collect like terms
9 = -15x + 12x
9 = -3x
x = 9 / -3
x = -3
(B) 4.5x + 11.5 = 8.5x + 3.5
4.5x - 8.5x = 3.5 - 11.5
-4x = -8
x = -8 / -4
x = 2
(C) 23x – 9 = 13x
-9 = 13x - 23x
-9 = -10x
x = -9 / -10
x = 9/10
