Answer:
Option A is the correct choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d be the number of boxes of duck calls and t be the number of boxes of turkey calls.
We have been given that a company sells boxes of duck calls for $35 and boxes of turkey calls (t) for $45, so the revenue earned from selling d boxes of duck and t boxes of turkey call will be 35d and 45t respectively.
Further, the company plan to make $300. We can represent this information as:

We are also told that they make batches of duck calls that fill 6 boxes and batches of turkey calls that fill 8 boxes. the company only has 42 boxes. We can represent this information as:


Therefore, our desired system of equation will be:

Answer:
47.25 + 23.75 = 71
Step-by-step explanation:
Again, nice problem. These are not super easy. You need to imagine the triangles in the figure and relate sides.
For instance: ADC, its hypotenuse is 15
For ABC, it is 20,
so 20/15 is the ratio between both triangles. Now let's choose the side with 'x'
x is one side of ADC, the corresponding side in ABC is 15 (the second longest sides). You need to rotate the triangles, etc ... That's the tricky part :)
So:
20/15 =15/x ----> x = 15*15/20 = 225/20 = 45/4
Which is C
Not sure whether it's too late to help you though!!!!
Also notice that it's kind of a product rule:
x * 20 = 15 * 15
I am sure the book explains a short way of getting to this equation, like sides opposite, blah blah, but what i told you is the reason. You asked for understanding it! Best luck!
X = 4 ; x = 3 + i ; x = 3 - i
(If you get a zero that is adding or subtracting, you always need to write it twice but change the sign do they cancel out)
f(x) = (x-4)(x-3-i)(x-3+i)
Distributing the last two parenthesis first is always the best way to start off
(x-3-i)(x-3+i) has (x-3) in common so it can be separated to
(x-3)^2 + (-i)(+i)
(x^2 - 6x + 9) ; (-i)(+i) is always +1
(x^2 - 6x + 9) + 1
(x^2 - 6x + 10)
Now multiply this with (x-4)
x^3 - 6x^2 + 10x
- 4x^2 + 24x - 40
x^3 - 10x^2 + 34x - 40 = f(x)
