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 of the follow if best describes AOR
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A major arc is an arc that is greater than 180 degrees.

A minor arc is an arc less than 180 degrees.

An acute angle is an angle less than 90 degrees.

A central angle is the angle created in the center of a circle with 2 sides being the radius.

<em>Thus, we can see in the figure that we are talking about the angle so we can eliminate major arc and minor arc.</em>

<em>Now, we clearly see that the angle is greater than 90 degree so it cannot be acute angle.</em>

<em />

The correct answer is central angle as it goes with the definition.

Find the equation of the parabola that has zeros of x = –1 and x = 3 and a y-intercept of (0,–9). Question 1 options: A) y = 3x2
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the zeros are x = - 1 and x = 3 then the factors are

(x + 1) and (x - 3) and the parabola is the product of the factors, that is

y = a(x + 1)(x - 3) ← where a is a multiplier

To find a substitute (0, - 9) into the equation

- 9 = a(0 + 1)(0 - 3) = a(1)(- 3) = - 3a ( divide both sides by - 3 )

3 = a, thus

y = 3(x + 1)(x - 3) ← expand the factors using FOIL

  = 3(x² - 2x - 3) ← distribute by 3

  = 3x² - 6x - 9 → A
