Answer:

Number of small candles = 12

Number of large candles = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Total candles = 28

x + y = 28 ---------------(I)

Cost of 'x' small candles = 4 *x = 4x

Cost of 'y' large candles = 6 *y = 6y

Total amount = $144

4x + 6y = 144 -------------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by (-4) and then add the equation. So, x will be eliminated and we can find the value of 'y'

(I) * (-4)            -4x - 4y = -112

(II)                  <u>  4x  + 6y = 144</u>              {Now, add}

                               2y = 32

                                y = 32/2

y = 16

Plug in y = 16 in equation (I)

x + 16 = 28

       x = 28 - 16

x = 12

Answer:

small candles-x

large -y

144-4x=6y

28-x=y

28-y=x

(28-x)6+4x=144

168-6x+4x=114

-2x=-54

2x=54

x=27

27 small and 1 large

Which products result in a perfect square trinomial? Check all that apply.
sladkih [1.3K]

The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:

B=(xy + x)(xy + x) ; C=(2x – 3)(–3 + 2x) ; and E=(4y² + 25)(25 + 4y²)

Explanation:

In order to have a perfect square trinomial, we must multiply two binomials that are exactly the same.  For (xy+x)(xy+x), are multiplying two identical binomials.

For (2x-3)(-3+2x), we are multiplying two binomials that are the same but written in a different order.  The same is true of (4y² + 25)(25 + 4y²).

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The percentage change in volume between cylinder A and cylinder B is 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula

V= πr^2h

For cylinder A, where r=7 and h= 5, π=22/7

V= π * 7^2 * 5

V= π * 49 * 5

V= 769.69 cubic inch

For cylinder B

V= 490π

V= 1539.3804 cubic inch

The percentage change in volume between cylinder A and cylinder B

=[ (VA- VB)/VB] *100

=( 1539.3804 - 769.69) / 1539.3804

= 0.5000 * 100

= 50%
