Michael and Jacob are standing on two docks that are 20 miles apart. They are watching a ship that is out in the ocean. The angl
e between the dock and the line connecting Michael and the ship is 48°, and the angle between the other dock and the line connecting Jacob and the ship is 37°.
If the ship can travel to either dock, which dock would be closest? Explain your answer.
A.) Michael’s dock would be closer because the angle opposite is smaller.
B.) Jacob’s dock would be closer because the angle opposite is smaller.
C.) Michael’s dock would be closer because the docks are 20 miles apart.
D.) Jacob’s dock would be closer because the docks are 20 miles apart.

Let x represent number of bracelets and y represent number of necklaces.
We have been given that a jeweler made 7 more necklaces than bracelets. This means that number of necklaces will be . We can represent this information in an equation as:
We have been given that the amount of gold in each bracelet is 6 grams, so amount used for x bracelets would be grams.
We are also told that the amount of gold in each necklace is 16 grams, so amount used for y necklaces would be grams.
Since the jeweler used 178 grams of gold, so we will equate the amount of gold used in x bracelets and y necklaces with 178 as:
Therefore, our required system of equations would be:
