Answer:

x+y\geq 20

3.50x+5.00y\leq 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of small candles and y represent number of large candles.

We have been given that Jonah needs to buy at least 20 candles. This means number of small and large candles should be greater than or equal to 20. We can represent this information in an inequality as:

x+y\geq 20...(1)

We are also told that small candles cost $3.50, so cost of x small candles would be 3.50x.

Since large candles cost $5.00, so cost of y large candles would be 5.00y.

We are told that Jonah cannot spend more than $80, this means cost of x small candles and y large candles should be less than or equal to $80. We can represent this information in an inequality as:

3.50x+5.00y\geq 80

Therefore, our required system of inequalities would be:

x+y\geq 20

3.50x+5.00y\leq 80

Well not sure what you are asking, but If it is what I think it is, it would go like this: 
          2 
(9^2)

Then the answer should be 

9^4 since we multiply the exponents. 

If you mean this...

3^2....It would be same as 3 x 3 which we should know is equal to nine. 

Hope I helped! (Be sure to thank me!)

Can the side lengths of 8, 9, and 12 form a triangle?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula you could do to check would be 8^2+9^2=12^2.

In this instance, 8^2 + 9^2 = 145 but 12^2 equals 144
