The answer would be x = ,because
x - x/2 + 9 = 15
x/2 + 9 = 15
x/2 = 6
x = 12

Work backwards
First, Subtract 9 dollars (That he just earned form washing car) from the 15 he ended up with,so that you get what his leftover money from the movie was.
15-9=6, 6 * 2 = 12
So benny started with 12 dollars as a weekly allowance
Double check by going in order
12/2 = 6 (He spent half original amount on movies), then add 9 for his chore
6+9=15, 15 is what his end amount was so the answer is $12 was benny's start or weekly allowance

ABC with altitude \overline{BD}

just olya [345]

The length of $\overline{AC}$ is given by the relationship between the similar triangles

ΔABD and ΔBDC.

$\overline{AC}$ = <u>80</u>

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

The altitude of triangle ΔABD = $\overline {BD}$

The hypotenuse of formed right triangle = $\overline {AC}$

The length of AD = 8

Length of BD = 24

Whereby ΔABD is a right triangle

We have;

ΔABD is similar to ΔBDC

Therefore, by similar triangle proportional sides relationship, we have;

$\displaystyle \frac{\overline{AD}}{\overline{BD}} = \mathbf{ \frac{\overline{BD}}{\overline{DC}}}$

Which gives;

$\overline{BD}^2$ = $\mathbf{\overline{DC} \times \overline{AD}}$

Therefore;

$\displaystyle \overline{DC} = \mathbf{\frac{\overline{BD}^2}{\overline {AD}}}$

$\displaystyle \overline{DC} = \frac{24^2}{8} = \mathbf{72}$

$\overline{AC} = \overline{DC} + \overline{AD}$

Which gives;

$\overline{AC} = 72 + 8 =\mathbf{ 80}$
