Aload of bricks is twice as heavy as a load of sticks. the total weight of 4 loads of bricks and 4 loads of sticks is 771 kilograms. what is the total weight of 1 load of bricks and 3 loads of sticks?

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?

If 2(a^2+b^2)=(a+b)^2 then, > a+b=0, > ab=0, > a=b, > 2a=b
