Answer:

tall candles = 39

Short candles = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

let tall candles be x

and short candles be y

No. Of candles sold = x + y =91

Money made from candles will be equal to = 8x + 5y = $572

These both are simultaneous linear equations.

x + y =91 ( multiply by 5)

5x + 5y = 455

8x + 5y = $572

Subtract them:

-3x = -117

x = -117/3

x = 39

put value of x in

x + y = 91

39 + y = 91

y = 91 - 39

y = 52

x shows tall candles so they are 39

y shows short candles so they are 52

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are -3 and 2 , and whose leading coefficient is 5
KiRa [710]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, roots are - 3 & 2

Therefore, (x + 3) & (x - 2) would be factors.

Leading coefficient is 5

Hence, required quadratic equation is:

5(x + 3)(x - 2) = 0 \\   \therefore \:  5( {x}^{2}  - 2x + 3x - 6)  = 0\\  \therefore \:  5( {x}^{2}  + x - 6)  = 0\\ \therefore \: 5 {x}^{2}  + 5x - 30  = 0\:  \\ is \: the \: required \:   quadratic \: equation.

The proof ABC ≅ DCB that is shown.
Schach [20]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

AAS

Explanation:

AAS stands for "angle-angle-side."  This states that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and non-included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

In these triangles, we have ∠CAB ≅ ∠CDB given to us to begin with.  Throughout the proof, we find that ∠ABC ≅ ∠DCB.  We also have that CB is congruent to itself.  This is two angles and a side not included, so this is AAS.

A tree and a building stand side by side. The 5-foot tall tree cast a shadow of 12 feet. If the building is 80 feet tall, how lo
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The shadow of the building = 192 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ There is a proportional relation between the heights of the tree and the building and their shadows

∴ Height tree/height building = shadow tree/shadow building

\frac{5}{80}=\frac{12}{x}

x = \frac{(80)(12)}{5}= 192 ft ⇒ x is the length of the shadow of the building
