<u>Answer:</u>

Bill has bags of candy with five pieces in each. The Bill has 16 bags

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Dan has bags of candy with two pieces in each.  

Bill has bags of candy with five pieces in each.  

Bill has six more bags than Dan.  

Then, number of bags with bill = 6 + number of bags with dan.

The total number of pieces candy the two boys have 100.  

Now, candies with bill + candies with dan = 100

⇒ 5 pieces per bag x number of bags with bill + 2 pieces per bag x number of bags with dan = 100

⇒ 5 x (6 + number of bags with dan) + 2 x number of bags with dan = 100

⇒ 30 + 5 x number of bags with dan + 2 x number of bags with dan = 100

⇒ (5  + 2) x number of bags with dan = 100 – 30

⇒ 7 x number of bags with dan = 70

⇒ Number of bags with dan = 10

So, number of bags with bill = 6 + 10 = 16

Hence, bill has 16 bags.

What does this equal to?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

x = 14

y = 7

z = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

x = # of cucumbers

y = # zucchini

z = # tomatoes

x + y + z = 43

2y = x  or  y = x/2

x + 8 = z

x + x/2 + x + 8 = 43

2x + x/2 = 35

4x + x = 70

5x = 70

x = 14

2y = 14

y = 7

14 + 8 = z

z = 22

Check if these variables are right:

14 + 7 + 22 = 43 ✔️

Find the distance between points (5,1) and (3,4) to the nearest tenth
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

3.6 units (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

distance formula

= \sqrt{(x1 - x2)^{2}  + (y1 - y2)^{2} }

Thus, distance between the 2 points

= √[(5 - 3)² + (1 - 4)²]

= √[ 2²+ ( - 3)²]

= √13

= 3.6 units (nearest tenth)

Determine whether this system of equations has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions.
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The only solution I see is for x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

y=8x+2

y=-8x+2

y=y so substitute:

8X+2=-8X+2

Subtract 2 from each side

8X=-8X

divide each side by 8

x=-x

The only solution I see is for x=0
