We can form a ratio equation. the ratio would be the amount of original apples to the cost versus the new amount of apples and new cost. we know all amounts except original cost.

pounds/cost = new pounds/new cost

9/x = (3/4)9 / 15

9/x = (27/4) / 15

9/x = 27/60

9/x = 9/20

cross multiply

9x = 180
x = 20

Is segment ST tangent to circle P1
malfutka [58]

Answer:

B . Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: a tangent of a circle is perpendicular to the radius of a circle, forming a right angle at the point of tangency.

Therefore, if segment ST is tangent to circle P, it means that m<T = 90°, and ∆PST is a right triangle.

To know if ∆PST is a right triangle, the side lengths should satisfy the Pythagorean triple rule, which is:

c² = a² + b², where,

c = longest side (hypotenuse) = 37

a = 12

b = 35

Plug in the value

37² = 12² + 35²

1,369 = 1,369 (true)

Therefore we can conclude that ∆PST is a right triangle, this implies that m<T = 90°.

Thus, segment ST is a tangent to circle P.

Craig had a budget of 84 dollars to spend on books and movies. He bought six books at x dollars each and three movies at 12 doll
RideAnS [48]

Answer: (3)12 + 6x = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

We know he definitely bought 3 books for $12 each so we immediately put that in the equation. Then we add that to the unknown (6 books times however much he bought them for) and then we equal it to 84 (his budget). Now we do 3 x 12 which is 36. Our new equation is 36 + 6x = 84. 84 - 36 = 48 so we know 6x = 48. Now divide 48 by 6 to get rid of the 6 and we learn that the variable equals 8. So, x = 8. We now know that he bought 6 books at 8 dollars each.
