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

2. simplify

4x-22=22\\4x=44\\x=11

3. substitute the value of x into an equation

Answer:

a. ∠D'A'B'

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph it is clear that the transformation doesn't affect the size and shape of the figure ABCD.

Only the coordinates of the points are changed with the length of each side remaining the same.

Hence the corresponding angle values will also remain unaltered.

∴ ∠DAB = ∠D'A'B'
