Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = number of pieces of chocolate bought by Amin.

Let b = number of pieces of chocolate bought by Bob.

b = 2a

(a - 3)(b - 3) = 14

ab - 3a - 3b + 9 = 14

a(2a) - 3a - 3(2a) = 5

2a^2 - 3a - 6a = 5

2a^2 - 9a - 5 = 0

(2a + 1)(a - 5) = 0

2a + 1 = 0  or  a - 5 = 0

a = -1/2  or  a = 5

Amin cannot have bought -1/2 pieces of chocolate, so we discard the soluion a = -1/2.

a = 5

Answer: 5

Suppose someone tells you that she has a triangle with sides having lengths 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 yards. Is this a right triangle?
Katarina [22]
You can solve by using Pythagoras theorem.
Let the longest side be c.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
If this holds, it is a right angle.

But, 3.5^2 + 4.5^2 is not equal to 5.5^2.

The metric system is easy to use because it is based on units of ten. how many centimeters are there in 100 meters?
IceJOKER [234]
The answer is:  " 10,000 cm " .
_________________________________________________
Note:  100 cm = 1 m  (exact measurement); in which: 

                     "cm" = centimeter(s) ;
                      "m"  = meter(s) ;
_________________________________________________
  100 m = ? cm ?

100 m * (100 cm / 1 m)  =  __?__   cm  ;

The units of "m" cancel out;  and we have:

(100)* (100 cm) = 10,000 cm .
