Answer:
m=-23/10
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 67/90=-247/90
m-4/9=-247/90
m=-247/90+4/9
m=-247/90+40/90
m=-207/90
m=-23/10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are all similar, so corresponding sides are proportional.
__
<h3>x</h3>
long side/short side = x/6 = 12/x
x² = 72 . . . . . . . multiply by 6x
x = 6√2 . . . . . . take the square root
__
<h3>y</h3>
hypotenuse/long side = y/12 = (12+6)/y
y² = 216 . . . . . multiply by 12y
y = 6√6 . . . . . take the square root
◆ Define the variables:
Let the calorie content of Candy A = a
and the calorie content of Candy B = b
◆ Form the equations:
One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Thus:
a + 2b = 774
Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories
2a + b = 786
◆ Solve the equations:
From first equation,
a + 2b = 774
=> a = 774 - 2b
Put a in second equation
2×(774-2b) + b = 786
=> 2×774 - 2×2b + b = 786
=> 1548 - 4b + b = 786
=> -3b = 786 - 1548
=> -3b = -762
=> b = -762/(-3) = 254 calorie
◆ Find caloric content:
Caloric content of candy B = 254 calorie
Caloric content of candy A = a = 774 - 2b = 774 - 2×254 = 774 - 508 = 266 calorie
