Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines in this kind of triangle are always in a strict ratio of small to large or large to small based on how you look at it. So we have 4cm to 6cm, which is 2:3 ratio. We know the smaller side, but want the larger side, so we can set up 2/3 = 10/? the ? is 15.

The system of inequalities is: $x\geq 3$ and $12x+7y\leq 63$

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Let $x$ be the amount of live bait and $y$ be the amount of natural bait.

As John would like to get at least 3 pounds of live bait, so the first inequality will be: $x\geq 3$

Given that, price of live bait is $12 per pound and natural bait is $7 per pound. Also, he only has a budget of $63. That means, he can spend maximum $63

So, the cost for buying $x$ pound of live bait $=\$12x$ and the cost for buying $y$ pound of natural bait $=\$7y$
