3n+6b=72, 

3n=72-6b

n=24-2b  and we are also told that:

4n+5b=66  substituting in n found above into this equation gives

4(24-2b)+5b=66

96-8b+5b=66

-3b=-30

b=10 grams, and since from earlier we saw that n=24-2b

n=24-2(10)

n=24-20

n=4 grams

So the combined mass of one bold and one nut is:

10+4=14 grams

Select the assumption necessary to start an indirect proof of the statement. If 3a+7 < 28, then a<7.
pashok25 [27]
When applying indirect proofs, we assume the negation of the conclusion is true, and show that this assumption would lead to nonsense, or contradiction.

In our case we assume a is not smaller than 7, that is we assume a≥7.

a≥7 then, multiplying both sides by 3:
3a≥21, then, adding both sides 7:

3a+7≥28,

which is a contradiction because 3a+7 is smaller than 28.

So our assumption is wrong, which means the opposite of it is correct.


Answer: assume a≥7
