Comment and answer

ABC is similar to XBY           The triangles are similar because

  • B                                             is a common angle to both
  • <A = <BXY                              AB is a transversal cutting 2 parallel lines
  • <C = <BYX                              BC is a transversal cutting 2 parallel lines

BX = 2                                             Given

XA = 3                                             Given

BY = 3                                              Given

YC = x                                              Object of question

BX/(BX + XA) = BY / (BY + YC)       Parts of two similar triangles

2/(2 + 3) = 3/(3+ x)                           Combine the left

2/5 = 3/(3 + x)                                  Cross Multiply

2*(3 + x) = 3*5                                  Remove the brackets

6 + 2x = 15                                       Subtract 6 from both sides

6-6+2x = 15 - 6                                Combine

2x = 9                                               Divide by 2

2x/2 = 9/2

x = 4.5

Answer

x = 4.5 or D

An Adult ticket at an amusement park costs $24.95 and a child's ticket costs $15.95. A group of 10 people paid $186.50 to enter
leva [86]

Answer:

There were 3 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Derive the first expression

a+c=10...equation 1

where;

a=number of adults

c=number of children

And total number of people=10

Step 2: Derive the second expression;

Total cost of tickets=(price per child ticket×number of children)+(price per adult ticket×number of adults)

where;

Total cost of tickets=$186.50

price per child ticket=$15.95

price per adult ticket=$24.95

number of children=c

number of adults=a

replacing;

(15.95×c)+(24.95×a)=186.5

24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5....equation 2

Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve simultaneously

24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5

-

24.95(a+c=10)

(24.95 a-24.95 a)+(15.95 c-24.95 c)=186.5-(24.95×10)

-9 c=-63

c=-63/-9

c=7

replace the value for c in equation 1

a+c=10

a+7=10

a=10-7

a=3

Please help!! (Question in picture) <br> FOR BRAINLIEST + MORE
Oliga [24]

A. 4y(2y + 5) = 4y(2y) + 4y(5) = 8y² + 20y

B. 7a(3a + 8b) = 7a(3a) + 7a(8b) = 21a² + 56ab

C. 13x³(3y + 2x²) = 13x³(3y) + 13x²(2x²) = 39x³y + 26x⁴ units²

D. 7m²(3m - 5) = 7m²(3m) - 7m²(5) = 21m³ - 35m² units²

Ok done. Thank to me :>
