Answer:

The number of

Small candles = x = 12 candles

Large candles = y = 16 candles

Step-by-step explanation:

You sell small and large candles at a craft fair. You collect $144 selling a total of 28 candles. How many of each type of candle did you sell? A photo shows a small candle labeled 4 dollars each and a large candle labeled 6 dollars each.

Let the number of

Small candles = x

Large candles = y

Our system of equations is:

x + y = 28 .......... Equation 1

x = 28 - y

A photo shows a small candle labeled 4 dollars each and a large candle labeled 6 dollars each.

4x + 6y = 144......... Equation 2

Substitute 28 - y for x in Equation 2

4(28 - y) + 6y = 144

112 - 4y + 6y = 144

- 4y + 6y = 144 - 112

2y = 32

y = 32/2

y = 16 candles

x = 28 - y

x = 28 - 16

x = 12 candles

Therefore:

The number of

Small candles = x = 12 candles

Large candles = y = 16 candles

Find the student’s error in solving the following inequality.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The correct option is:

The student should have switched the direction of the inequality sign to get –5> x for a final answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The students has made a mistake in the 3rd step.

We know that when we multiply or divide any negative number on both sides of the inequality, the sign of inequality  reverse its direction.

In step 3 the student divided 25 by -5 but did not  switch direction of the inequality sign.

Therefore the correct option is: The student should have switched the direction of the inequality sign to get –5> x for a final answer
