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

An angle measures 166° more than the measure of a supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
expeople1 [14]
Supplementary means they add up to 180

angle 1 = x
angle 2 = x + 166

so x + x + 166 = 180
2x = 14
x = 7

so angle 1 = 7 angle 2 = x + 166 = 173

Which pair of triangles can be proved congruent by the SAS postulate?
Olenka [21]
C. â–łADE and â–łEBA

Let's look at the available options and see what will fit SAS.

A. â–łABX and â–łEDX
* It's true that the above 2 triangles are congruent. But let's see if we can somehow make SAS fit. We know that AB and DE are congruent, but demonstrating that either angles ABX and EDX being congruent, or angles BAX and DEX being congruent is rather difficult with the information given. So let's hold off on this option and see if something easier to demonstrate occurs later.

B. â–łACD and â–łADE
* These 2 triangles are not congruent, so let's not even bother.

C. â–łADE and â–łEBA
* These 2 triangles are congruent and we already know that AB and DE are congruent. Also AE is congruent to EA, so let's look at the angles between the 2 pairs of congruent sides which would be DEA and BAE. Those two angles are also congruent since we know that the triangle ACE is an Isosceles triangle since sides CA and CE are congruent. So for triangles â–łADE and â–łEBA, we have AE self congruent to AE, Angles DAE and BEA congruent to each other, and finally, sides AB and DE congruent to each other. And that's exactly what we need to claim that triangles ADE and EBA to be congruent via the SAS postulate.

What type of sequence fits with linear mathematical models?
kiruha [24]
Linear mathematical models describe real world applications with the use lines. For instance, a car going 50 mph, has traveled a distance represented by y=50x, where x is time in hours and y is miles.  The equation and graph can be used to make predictions.
