Answer: D. There are at least two oatmeal cookies next to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright so basically we can use process of elimination to determine what is true or false so

A. States the farthest to the left is chocolate but we can't prove that because all we know is the cookie farthest to the right is chocolate so this is<u> false</u>

B. Same reason as A we cannot prove what cookie is farthest to the left because we are not given a pattern so <u>B is false</u>

C. Since there are definitely twice as many girls as boys in the class and that also means there are twice as many oatmeal cookies then we cannot prove that 2 chocolate cookies have to be next to each other<u> so also false</u>

<u></u>

D. This has to be true because if there are twice as many girls as boys and more oatmeal than chocolate then is whatever cookie line combinataion we will have at least 2 oatmeal cookies next to each other So this is true

E. This is most definitely not true because the question tells us that twice as many girls gave him oatmeal so if anything there are more oatmeal cookies

To eliminate the y-terms and solve for x in the fewest steps, by which constants should the equations be multiplied by before ad
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

use -9 to multiply the first equation

use -4 to multiply the second equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-4y=28.....eqn (1)×-9

3x-9y=30....eqn(2)×-4

-45x+36y=-252

-(-12x+36y=-120)

therefore, -33x÷33 =-132÷-33

x=4.

substitute (x=4) in any of the equation. I'm just going to use eqn 1.

5x-4y=28

5(4)-4y=28

20-4y=28

-4y =28-20

-4y÷-4 = 8÷-4

y=-2

so, x=4, y=-2

Note: for proof of answers substitute the answers for x and y and see if you have the same result...e.g

5(4)-4(-2)=28.

Find the value of x,
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: x = -7

Concept:

From the given graph, we can see that it is an isosceles triangle since the two base angles are congruent.

In geometry, an isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length.

If you are still confused, you may refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation or tell me.

Solve:

<u>Given information</u>

First Side = 7

Second Side = x + 14

<u>Given expression deducted from the definition of an isosceles triangle</u>

Second Side = First Side

<u>Substitute values into the expression</u>

x + 14 = 7

<u>Subtract 14 on both sides</u>

x + 14 - 14 = 7 - 14

\boxed{x=-7}

Hope this helps!! :)

A shopper purchased 4 tables and 2 chairs for $200 and 2 tables and 7 chairs for $400. What is the cost of each table and each c
I am Lyosha [343]
4t+2c=200
2t+7c=400

I will solve for c in terms of t first
4t+2c=200
2c=200-4t
c=100-2t

Then I will substitute this in for c in the second equation to make it single variable
2t+7c=400
2t+7(100-2t)=400
2t+700-14t=400
300t=12
t=25 
Tables cost $25 each

Plug t back into one of the ORIGINAL equations to find the cost of chairs
4(25)+2c=200
100+2c=200
2c=100
c=50
Chairs cost $50 each

Hope this helps! :)

Are the graphs 8x+3y=6 and 8x-3y=6 perpendicular
Alla [95]
Lines are perpendicular if the slope of one is the negative reciprocal of the other. In this case the slopes are -8/3 and 8/3, so while negative they are not reciprocal. So no, the two lines intersect but are not perpendicular.
