I can't exactly see if the 10 at the end is negative, but I'm going to assume that it is.
10x - 6y = 8
5x - 10y = -10
= (2, 2)

We can find the side length of square 3 by dividing by 4, which is 9.
Then, we find the side length of square 2 by dividing it by 4, which is 12.
To find the AREA of square 1, we do a^2+b^2=c^2. This is basically adding up area of square 1 and square 2 to get square 3.
a^2+b^2=c^2
9^2+12^2=c^2
81+144=225
So the area is 225 units.
Answer: The correct answer is option B: There are between 15 and 20 green pieces in all 5 packages
Step-by-step explanation: The most important factor has been given which is, "Which statement about the candy pieces in the remaining packages is best supported by this information."
The information given is such that, the first package she opened had 4 green pieces and on this basis we can safely assume that all other packages have 4 green pieces as well. The second package had 3 green pieces and this based on this too we can safely assume that all other packages had 3 green pieces. Hence, all 5 packages can either have a total of 4 x 5 green candies which equals a total of 20 green pieces or, all 5 packages can have a total of 3 x 5 green candies which equals a total of 15 green pieces.
So according to Suzi's experiment, there are between 15 and 20 green pieces in all 5 packages.
8/15 = m/15
Cross multiply:
8 * 45 = 15 * M
Simplifying
8 * 45 = 15 * M
Multiply 8 * 45
360 = 15 * M
Solving
360 = 15M
