◆ Define the variables:
Let the calorie content of Candy A = a
and the calorie content of Candy B = b
◆ Form the equations:
One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Thus:
a + 2b = 774
Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories
2a + b = 786
◆ Solve the equations:
From first equation,
a + 2b = 774
=> a = 774 - 2b
Put a in second equation
2×(774-2b) + b = 786
=> 2×774 - 2×2b + b = 786
=> 1548 - 4b + b = 786
=> -3b = 786 - 1548
=> -3b = -762
=> b = -762/(-3) = 254 calorie
◆ Find caloric content:
Caloric content of candy B = 254 calorie
Caloric content of candy A = a = 774 - 2b = 774 - 2×254 = 774 - 508 = 266 calorie
a-(2+3)=-2
a-5=-2
a=3
You add 5 to -2 to get your answer.
Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Because zero is the x, so x=-7 then it's -7
Check the picture below.
the triangle has that base and that height, recall that A = 1/2 bh.
now as for the perimeter, you can pretty much count the units off the grid for the segment CB, so let's just find the lengths of AC and AB,


so, add AC + AB + CB, and that's the perimeter of the triangle.
