The American dream that means to me is being rich and famous
We can solve with a system of equations, and use c for the amount of cans of soup and f for the amount of frozen dinners.
The first equation will represent the amount of sodium. We know the (sodium in one can times the number of cans) plus (sodium in one frozen dinner times the number of dinners) is the expression for the total sodium. We also know the total sodium is 4450, so:
250c + 550f = 4450
The second equation is to find how many of each item are purchased:
c + f = 13
Solve for c in the second equation:
c = 13 - f
Plug this in for c in the first equation:
250(13-f) + 550f = 4450
3250 - 250f + 550f = 4450
300f = 1200
f = 4
Now plug the value for f into the second equation:
c + 4 = 13
c = 9
The answer is 9 cans of soups and 4 frozen dinners.
Answer :
Let's assume the opposite of the statement i.e., 3 + √5 is a rational number.
Since, a, b and 3 are integers. So,
Here, it contradicts that √5 is an irrational number.
because of the wrong assumption that 3 + √5 is a rational number.
Hence, 3 + √5 is an irrational number.

Step-by-step answer:
Given:
A triangle
Perimeter = 60 cm
longest side = 4* shortest side (x)
Solution:
longest side = 4x
shortest side = x
third (intermediate side = 60 -x -4x = 60-5x
The triangle inequality specifies that the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the longest side to form a triangle. Hence
x + y > 4x
x + 60-5x > 4x
60 - 4x > 4x
8x < 60
x < 60/8 = 7.5, or
x < 7.5
Therefore to form a triangle, x (shortest side) must be less than 7.5 cm.
Examine the options: both 7 and 5 are both less than 7.5 cm.
40, 30 and 25 all have a problem because the longest side (4 times longer) will exceed the perimeter of 60.
Now also examine cases where 4x is NOT the longest side, in which case we need
4x>=y
or
4x >= 60-5x
9x >=60
x >= 6.67
so x=5 will not qualify, because 4x will no longer be the longest side.
The only valid option is x=7 cm
The side lengths for x=7 and x=5 are, respectively,
(7, 25, 28)
5, 20, 35 (in which case, the longest side is no longer 4x=20, so eliminated)
