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
The answer is D. dividing both sides by 4 isolates the variable
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Arc LM = 13x - 10
Arc MN = 7x - 10
Required:
Solve for x
Solution:
Recall: half a circle = 180°
Therefore,
Arc LM + Arc MN = 180°
13x - 10 + 7x - 10 = 180
Add like terms
20x - 20 = 180
20x - 20 + 20 = 180 + 20
20x = 200
20x/20 = 200/20
x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:
Find the area of the 4 triangles and add them.
Area of triangle = base × height × 0.5
Answer:
it's a substitution because y was solved
Step-by-step explanation:
2x +2(3x-7)=10
you just replace the "y' by the solved y
then you solve parenthesis and continue the rest.
