Answer:

b = 9.1units

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

Using the similarity theorem of triangle

WX/XZ = WY/WX

Substitute;

b/a+5 = 6/b

b² = 6(a+5) ... 1

Also according to pythagoras theorem on triangle WYX;

b² = 6²+a²...2  

Equate 1 and 2

6(a+5) = 6²+a²

6a+30 = 36 + a²

a²-6a+36-30 = 0

a²-6a+6 = 0

a = 6±√36+4(6)/2

a = 6±√60/2

a = 6±7.745/2

a = 13.745/2

a = 6.8725

Recall that

b² = 6²+a²

b² = 36+6.8725²

b² = 83.2313

b = 9.12units

b = 9.1units

Katie wants to buy some popcorn for her family at the theater. Each small tub of popcorn costs $3 and each large tub of popcorn
Molodets [167]

For this case we propose a system of equations:

x: Represents the amount of small popcorn tubs

y: Represents the amount of large popcorn tubs

According to the data we have to:

3x + 4y = 24 (Spending all the money in your wallet)

x + y = 7 (Buying 7 popcorn tubs)

From the second equation we have:

x = 7-y

Substituting in the first equation:

3 (7-y) + 4y = 24\\21-3y + 4y = 24\\21 + y = 24\\y = 24-21\\y = 3

Thus, Katie can buy 3 large tubs of popcorn.

So:

x = 7-3\\x = 4

In addition, you can buy 4 small tubs of popcorn.

Answer:

3 large popcorn tubs.

4 small popcorn tubs.
