Answer:
C. x = 5, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Simply plug in each given term in the answer choices, evaluate, then find out which two will make the system of equations authentic, or genuine.
The smallest possible whole-number length of the unknown side is 17 inches.
<h3>What is the Pythagoras theorem?</h3>
The Pythagoras theorem states that the square of the longest side must be equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides in a right-angle triangle.
From the information given, the sides of an obtuse triangle measure 9 inches and 14 inches.
Therefore, the third side will be:
c² = 9² + 14²
c² = 81 + 196
c² = 277
c = ✓277
c = 16.64
c = 17
Hence, the smallest possible whole-number length of the unknown side is 17 inches.

There are 16 red counters there.
<h3>Fractions and proportions</h3>
If one-quarter of the counters in a tub are red and the rest are green, then there are three-quarter of the counter in the tub.
Let the total counter be x such that
3/4x = 48
3x = 4 * 48
x = 4 * 16
x = 64
Determine the amount of red counter
Red counter = 64 - 48
Red counter = 16
Hence there are 16 red counters there.

Expected value E(x) = 0.6(200,000) + 0.2(100,000) - 0.2(200,000) = 120,000 + 20,000 - 40,000 = 100,000
Therefore, the expected value is $100,000, so the company should build the mousetrap.
#1) so if the ratio is 2/3 and the other fraction is 16/?, all you have to do is figure out what it took to get there. For example, if the beginning fraction is 2/3 and the second one is 16/?, we at least know that 2 times 8 is 16, so all we have to do is multiply 3 times 8 to get the bottom number which is 24. So 24 is the amount of tan tiles they will need.
