Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = -25/6

y = -7/3

Discussion:

2x - 8 = 7y => multiply both sides by 3

6x - 24 = 21y

Subtract this from the second equation:

6x -9y= -4

6x -24 = 21y

- --------------------------

0x -9y + 24 = -4 - 21y => add 21y to both sides

-9y + 21y + 24 = -4 => add -24 to both sides

-9y +21y + (24 - 24) = -4 -24 =>

12y = - 28 =>

y = -28/12

y = -7/3

Solving for x,

2x - 8 = 7(-7/3) =>

2x - 8 = -49/3 => add 8 = 24/3 to both sides

2x = -49/3 + 24/3 =>

2x = -25/3 => divide both sides by 2

x = -25/6

Thank you,

MrB

Given points A (0,0), B (4,0), C (0,2), D (0,0), E (2,0), and F (0,1), which of the following proves that

Similar triangles may or may not have equal side lengths

Triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS theorem

<h3>How to determine the similarity statement</h3>

The coordinates of the two triangles are:

A (0,0), B (4,0), C (0,2), D (0,0), E (2,0), and F (0,1)

Calculate the lengths of both triangles using the following distance formula

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2}$

For triangle ABC, we have:

$AB = \sqrt{(0 -4)^2 + (0 -0)^2} = 4$

$BC = \sqrt{(4 -0)^2 + (0 -2)^2} = 2\sqrt 5$

$CA = \sqrt{(0 -0)^2 + (0 -2)^2} = 2$

For triangle DEF, we have:

$DE = \sqrt{(0 -2)^2 + (0 -0)^2} = 2$

$EF = \sqrt{(2 -0)^2 + (0 -1)^2} = \sqrt 5$

$FD = \sqrt{(0 -0)^2 + (1 -0)^2} = 1$

Divide corresponding sides of the triangles to calculate the scale factor k

$k = \frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{CA}{FD}$

This gives

$k = \frac{4}{2} = \frac{2\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 5} = \frac{2}{1}$

Evaluate the quotients

$k = 2 = 2 = 2$

Since the quotients are equal, then the triangles are similar

Hence, triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS theorem

Tom rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of 19.95 , and there was an additional charge of 85 cents for each mile dri

Sidana [21]

Answer:

231 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom rented a truck with a base fee of 19.95. You will subtract this from the total since you just want to get the mileage.

Tom is getting charged .85 cents per mile driven.

Tom payed 216.30 subtotal minus the 19.95 base fee since we are trying to only see how many miles he drove.

(216.30-19.95=196.35) This will be total for each mile. All we need to do is divide to get the total of miles

(196.35÷.85= 231)

231 is the number of miles Tom drove.
