Answer: Hi!

Let's start, you have 3 boxes and 3 types off eggs inside of each. The fact that they each box is labelled incorrectly means that inside the box labelled Large, only can be the set of small or mixed eggs.

So, let's suppose we open this Box labelled LARGE and inside of it we find the small eggs.

now we have two remaining boxes, the labeled SMALL and the labelled MIXED.

the MIXED can only contain the set of large eggs or the set of small, because you know that is wrong labelled, and also you know that the small eggs are in the first box that you oppened, so here are the large eggs, and now in the last box is the last set of eggs, the mixed one.

So you only will need to open one box to know which eggs are in what box.

What is the measure of DE?<br><br><br> 16<br><br><br> 12<br><br><br> 20<br><br><br> 10
AnnyKZ [126]
 set up a ratio to find the length:

15/12 = DE/16

cross multiply the 15 & 16:
15 * 16 = 240

divide that by 12 to get DE

240 / 12 = 20

DE = 20

A total of 504tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 54more studen
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

225 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

S: no. of students

A: no. of adults

S = A + 54

S + A = 504

A + A + 54 = 504

2A = 450

A = 225

S = 225 + 54

S = 279

4x + 3(4x + 7) = 4(7x + 3)​
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation:4x + 3(4x + 7) = 4(7x + 3) + -3

Reorder the terms:

4x + 3(7 + 4x) = 4(7x + 3) + -3

4x + (7 * 3 + 4x * 3) = 4(7x + 3) + -3

4x + (21 + 12x) = 4(7x + 3) + -3

Reorder the terms:

21 + 4x + 12x = 4(7x + 3) + -3

Combine like terms: 4x + 12x = 16x

21 + 16x = 4(7x + 3) + -3

Reorder the terms:

21 + 16x = 4(3 + 7x) + -3

21 + 16x = (3 * 4 + 7x * 4) + -3

21 + 16x = (12 + 28x) + -3

Reorder the terms:

21 + 16x = 12 + -3 + 28x

Combine like terms: 12 + -3 = 9

21 + 16x = 9 + 28x

Solving

21 + 16x = 9 + 28x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-28x' to each side of the equation.

21 + 16x + -28x = 9 + 28x + -28x

Combine like terms: 16x + -28x = -12x

21 + -12x = 9 + 28x + -28x

Combine like terms: 28x + -28x = 0

21 + -12x = 9 + 0

21 + -12x = 9

Add '-21' to each side of the equation.

21 + -21 + -12x = 9 + -21

Combine like terms: 21 + -21 = 0

0 + -12x = 9 + -21

-12x = 9 + -21

Combine like terms: 9 + -21 = -12

-12x = -12

Divide each side by -12.

x = 1

Simplifying

x = 1
