Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf DE = 9}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure,

AB = 2

BC = 3

AD = 6

Substitute in the given formula

\displaystyle \frac{AB}{BC} =\frac{AD}{DE} \\\\\frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{DE} \\\\Cross \ Multiply \\\\2 \times DE = 6 \times 3\\\\2DE = 18\\\\Divide \ 2 \ to \  both \ sides\\\\DE = 18/2\\\\DE = 9\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}

Lee buys a computer and a printer for $2,028 The printer costs 30% the price of the computer. What is the price of the computer?
lisov135 [29]

Answer: $1,560

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the computer's price is x.

This means that expressing the printer in terms of x would be:

= 30% * x

= 0.3x

These two put together represent the cost of $2,028

Expression is:

x + 0.3x = 2,028

1.3x = 2,028

x = 2,028/ 1.3

x = $1,560

Computer was $1,560

Printer was therefore:

= 1,560 * 30%

= $468

Which value of a would make the following expression completely factored? X^
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

A. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Selecting B, C, or D would create a difference of perfect squares since each of these numbers are perfect squares. Additional factoring would then be needed.

x^2-36 = (x+6)(x-6)\\x^2-49 = (x+7)(x-7)\\x^2-81=(x+9)(x-9)

But selecting 12 gives x^2-12 which cannot be factored. It is factored completely.
