we know that

<u>The intersecting chords theorem</u> states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal.

In this problem

$(x)(x-11)=(x-8)(x-5)\\x^{2}-11x=x^{2}-5x-8x+40\\-11x=-13x+40\\2x=40\\x=20$

Damm [24]

You need to find how many times 5 fits into 75 5x12=60 5x13=65 5x14=70 5x15=75. so, 5 fits in to 75 fifteen times. that means Susan makes $15 a day for 5 days. 5x15=75

1. Kristen spent $131 on shirts at Target last week. She bought some fancy shirts for

Masja [62]

Answer:

Kristen bought 2 fancy shirts and 5 plain t-shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Kristen spent $131 on 7 shirts.

Cost of one fancy shirt = $28

Cost of one plain t-shirt = $15

Let,

x be the number of fancy shirts

y be the number of plain t-shirts

x+y = 7 Eqn 1

28x+15y=131 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 15

15(x+y=7)

15x+15y=105 Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(28x+15y)-(15x+15y)=131-105

28x+15y-15x+15y=26

13x=26

Dividing both sides by 13

$\frac{13x}{13}=\frac{26}{13}\\x=2$

Putting x=2 in Eqn 1

2+y=7

y=7-2

y=5

Hence,

Kristen bought 2 fancy shirts and 5 plain t-shirts.
