Step-by-step explanation:

there are 2 similar triangles : ABE and DCE

that means they have the same angles, and the scaling factor from one triangle to the other is the same for every side.

and that means that

DE/AE = EC/BE (= DC/AB)

we know that

AE = AD + DE

BE = BC + EC

a.

so, we have actually

DE/(AD+DE) = EC/(BC+EC)

DE/(10+DE) = 8/(2+8) = 8/10 = 4/5

DE = 4(10+DE)/5

5DE = 4(10+DE) = 40 + 4DE

DE = 40 cm

b.

AD/DE = 3/5

BC/EC must be 3/5 too.

15/EC = 3/5

15 = 3EC/5

75 = 3EC

EC = 25 cm

Two airlines offer special group rates to your school’s Spanish Club for a trip to Mexico City. Mexican Air airline offers a rou
Finger [1]

Answer:

a. The Mexican Airline offers a better deal for 9 students to travel.  

b. 10 students

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The Mexican Air airline offers a round trip airfare of $250 per person.

So, for 9 students the fare will be total $(250 × 9) = $2250

Now, the Fiesta airline offers a round trip airfare of $150 per person if the club agrees to pay a one-time group rate processing fee of $1000.

So, for 9 students the total fare will be = $[1000 + (150 × 9)] =$2350.

Therefore, the Mexican Airline offers a better deal for 9 students to travel.  (Answer)

b. Let for x students both the airline offers the same total costs.

Then we can write  

250x = 1000 + 150x {From the conditions given}

⇒ 100x = 1000

⇒ x = 10

So, if the number of students is 10, then only both the airlines will take same fare. (Answer)

What is the solution to the system of equations?<br> y = -5x + 3<br> y = 1
Gekata [30.6K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x, y) = (2/5, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute for y and solve for x.

  1 = -5x +3

  -2 = -5x . . . . . . subtract 3

  2/5 = x . . . . . . divide by -5

The solution is (x, y) = (2/5, 1).
