Answer:

5.60 pounds each

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the dry mixture problem.

Let x = the number of pounds of the first type of candy

Therefore, number of pounds of second type of candy = 10-x

Value of first candy + value of second candy = value of mixture

Value of any candy = cost per pound of candy * weight of candy

Thus:

4x + 6(10 - x) = 5.60(10)

4x + 60 - 6x = 56

-2x + 60 = 56

-2x = -4

x = -4/-2

x = 2

Therefore, the number of pounds of first type of candy = 2 pounds

The number of pounds of second type of candy = 10 - 2 = 8 pounds

Check

$4(2) + $6(8) =

           8 + 48 = $5.60(10)

               $56 = $56

Answer:

statement D is correct.

<em>Statement: ∠7 ≅ ∠6 and ∠8 ≅ ∠5</em>

<em>Reason: Vertical Angles Theorem</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

3 ≅ ∠7 and ∠4 ≅ ∠8

from statement 2 because they are corresponding angles.

∠8 ≅ ∠5

because its vertical angles

The vertical angles theorem is about angles that are opposite each other.

So,

∠4 ≅ ∠8 and ∠8 ≅ ∠5

which means

<h3> ∠4 ≅ ∠5 </h3>

Hence,

∠3 = ∠7

∠4 = ∠5

they are known as interior alternative angles.

The length of the segment between the points $(2a, a-4)$ and $(4, -1)$ is $2\sqrt{10}$ units. What is the product of all possibl
True [87]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a segment is

sqrt( ( y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)

sqrt( ( a-4 - -1)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)

sqrt( ( a-4 +1)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)

Combine like terms

sqrt( ( a-3)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)

Square each side

( a-3)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 4 *(10)

FOIL the left side

a^2 -6a +9   + 4a^2 -16a +16 = 40

Combine like terms

5a^2 -22a +25 = 40

Subtract 40 from each side

5a^2 -22a -15 =0

Factor

(a - 5) (5 a + 3) = 0

Using the zero product property

a-5 =0   5a +3 = 0

a = 5       5a = -3

a=5     a = -3/5

The product of the terms is

5 * -3/5 = -3
