Answer:

The jeweler made 11 bracelets and 7 necklaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a jeweler had a fixed amount of gold to make bracelets and necklaces, and the amount of gold in each bracelet is 6 grams and the amount of gold in each necklace is 16 grams, knowing that the jeweler used 178 grams of gold and made 7 more necklaces than bracelets, to determine a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of bracelets made and the number of necklaces made, the following mathematical reasoning should be considered:

(16 - 6) x 7 = 70

178 - 70 = 108

108/6 = 18

18 - 7 = 11

(11 x 6) + (7 x 16) = X

66 + 112 = X

178 = X

Thus, the jeweler made 11 bracelets and 7 necklaces.

Alex, Bob, and Claudia split 126 cm wire evenly among themselves. They then proceeded to cut their pieces of wire into smaller,
Westkost [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • Bob
  • 18 cm
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

If Alex cut his wire 18 times, he ended up with 19 equal pieces. He kept 7, so has 7/19 of his 1/3 of the wire.

Bob cut his wire 20 times, so ended up with 21 pieces, of which he kept 9. So he has 9/21 = 3/7 of his 1/3 of the wire.

Claudia kept 1/13 of her 1/3 of the wire, so has the smallest piece.

Bob kept (3/7)·(1/3)·126 cm = 18 cm.

Alex kept (7/19)·(1/3)·126 cm ≈ 15.47 cm.

Bob kept the longest part of the original wire.

Each side of the smaller square in the figure below is n inches long, and each side of the larger square is p inches longer than
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

2np + p²

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for the area of a square is A = s², where s = the length of one side of the square.  In the case of the smaller square the area would be: n x n = n².  Since the side of the larger square is 'p' inches longer, the length of one side is 'n + p'.  To find the area of the larger square, we have to take the length x length or (n +p)².

Using FOIL (forward, outside, inside, last):

(n + p)(n+p) = n² + 2np + p²

Since the area of the first triangle is n², we can subtract this amount from the area of the larger square to find out how many square inches greater the larger square area is.

n² + 2np + p² - n² = 2np + p²
