Hi, i think the answer 20/3 hope this helped :D
The answer is D because it does not end up passing through another point. You can discover this by using the vertical line test.
Answer:
Number of small candles = 12
Number of large candles = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Total candles = 28
x + y = 28 ---------------(I)
Cost of 'x' small candles = 4 *x = 4x
Cost of 'y' large candles = 6 *y = 6y
Total amount = $144
4x + 6y = 144 -------------(II)
Multiply equation (I) by (-4) and then add the equation. So, x will be eliminated and we can find the value of 'y'
(I) * (-4) -4x - 4y = -112
(II) <u> 4x + 6y = 144</u> {Now, add}
2y = 32
y = 32/2
y = 16
Plug in y = 16 in equation (I)
x + 16 = 28
x = 28 - 16
x = 12
Answer A
For ease convert both into ounces.
Gross = (11x16) + 5 = 181 ounces
Packaging = (1x16) + 15 = 31 oz.
Now subtract Packaging from Gross
181 - 31 = 150 oz.
Divide by 16 to get pounds
150/16 = 9.375 - hence 9 lb.
and multiply 16 by .375 for ounces
0.375 x 16 = 6 oz.
Thus A : 9lb 6 oz
