Answer:

15 black water bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

let w represent white water bottles, and let b represent black water bottles.

set up a system of equations:

w+b=20

w+2b=35

(the top equation shows that the number of white water bottles he sold and the number of black water bottles he sold equals to 20, since it says that the total number of water bottles is 20. the bottom equation shows that white water bottles cost $1, and black water bottles cost $2, and that the total amount of money he got from selling them is $35).

in the top equation, isolate w:

w+b=20

w=20-b

now we do substitution. in the bottom equation, substitute 20-b for w:

w+2b=35

20-b+2b=35

then, solve:

b+20=35

b=15

this means that he sold 15 black water bottles.

1/6(a+12)= -4 please help because I don’t understand this
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

a=-36

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6(a+12)=-4

1) Distribute <u>1/6</u> to a and 12:

1/6a+2=-4

2) Subtract 2 from both sides:

1/6a=-6

3) Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/6: (6/1)

a=-36

Let me know if you have any confusion on how I reached the solution :)

F + H ARE WRONG<br><br> HELP ME JIM!
RSB [31]
Reason F should be "CPCTC" which stands for "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent". Its like saying "if two houses are identical, then the front doors should be the same". The houses in the analogy are the triangles, while the front doors are the corresponding parts. So if triangle DEC is congruent to triangle BEC, then the corresponding parts angle DEC and angle BEC are congruent.

===========================================

Reason H is "linear pair postulate" which says that if two angles form a linear pair then they are considered supplementary. This is simply what "supplementary" means. The two angles add to 180 degrees. A "linear pair" is where you have two angles that are adjacent and the angles combine to form a straight angle (180 degrees).

===========================================

Side note: It seems like some of this proof has been cut off. There should be more lines to this proof because the last line is always what you want to prove. In this case, the thing we want to prove is "angle DEC and angle BEC are right angles" so that should be the last statement.
