A roadside vegetable stand sells pumpkins for $5 each and tomatoes for $3 each. The total sales on a certain day was $98. If they sold 10 pumpkins, write and solve a linear
equation to find the number of tomatoes sold.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl

if you was gonna solve for a, a is a   < -12

the answer to this is a. a^2 + b^2 = c^2
