Jarred sells DVDs. His inventory shows that he has a total of 3,500 DVDs. He has 2,342 more contemporary titles than classic tit

les. Let x represent the number of contemporary titles and y represent the number of classic titles. The system of equations models the given information for both types of DVDs.
x + y = 3,500

x – y = 2,342

The number of contemporary titles and classic titles in Jarred DVDs collection is 2,921 and 579 respectively.

<h3>Simultaneous equation</h3>

Simultaneous equation is an equation which involves the solving for two unknown values at the same time.

  • number of contemporary titles = x
  • number of classic titles = y

x + y = 3,500

x – y = 2,342

Add both be equation

x + x = 3,500 + 2,342

2x = 5,842

x = 5,842 ÷ 2

x = 2,921

Substitute x = 2,921 into

x – y = 2,342

2,921 - y = 2, 342

-y = 2,342 - 2,921

-y = -579

y = 579

Therefore, the number of contemporary titles and classic titles in Jarred DVDs collection is 2,921 and 579 respectively.

Give statements and reasons
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

A two column proof is presented as follows;

Statement {}                                     Reason

1. AB ║ DE, BD bisects AE        {}    Given

2. ∠BAE = ∠AED, ∠ABD = ∠BDA {} Alternate ∠s are equal

3.  \overline {AC} =  \overline {EC} ,  \overline {BC} =  \overline {CD} {} {}            By definition of bisection of line AE by BD

4. ΔABC ≅ ΔEDC  {}                         By SAA, rule of congruency

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. AB ║ DE, BD bisects AE        {}    Given

Step 2. ∠BAE , ∠AED, and ∠ABD, ∠BDA {} are pairs of alternate angles formed by the parallel lines, AB and DE and are therefore, equal

Step 3.  \overline {AC} =  \overline {EC} ,  \overline {BC} =  \overline {CD}  The bisection of line gives two lines of equal length. The bisection of AE by BD gives,  \overline {AC} and  \overline {EC} where \overline {AC} =  \overline {EC}

Similarly, the bisection of BD by AE gives, \overline {BC} and  \overline {CD}, where  \overline {BC} =  \overline {CD}

Step 4. ΔABC ≅ ΔEDC  {}  By the Side-Angle-Angle (SAA), rule of congruency, which states that two triangles having two angles and the corresponding non included sides of each triangle equal to the other, the two triangles are congruent.

What value of x will make the triangles similar by the SSS similarity theorem?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: The value of x will make the triangles similar by the SSS similarity theorem is 30

Third option 30


Solution:

The similarity theorem indicates that the sides of similar triangles must be proportional, then:

x/45=x/45=50/75

x/45=50/75

Solving for x: Multiplying both sides of the equation by 45:

45(x/45)=45(50/75)

x=(45)(50)/75

x=2,250/75

x=30
