Answer:

x = 12, y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{AD}{PS} = \frac{DC}{SR} , substitute values

\frac{20}{2x+6} = \frac{18}{27} ( cross- multiply )

18(2x + 6) = 540 ( divide both sides by 18 )

2x + 6 = 30 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

2x = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 12

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

and

\frac{AB}{PQ} = \frac{DC}{SR} , substitute values

\frac{y}{24} = \frac{18}{27} ( cross- multiply )

27y = 432 ( divide both sides by 27 )

y = 16

Official unemployment rates for the U.S. population are reported on a monthly basis by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For the p
Kitty [74]

Step-by-step explanation:

Clearly, there is a common difference between the monthly employment rates:

8.7% - 8.9% = -0.2%

8.5% - 8.7% = -0.2%

8.3% - 8.5% = -0.2%

a) So, for every month x, the percentage will go down 0.2%, starting at 8.9%. So, we can make this equation:

y = -0.2x + 9.1, where x = 1 would be October 2011.

January 2013 is 16 months after October 2011, so:

y = -0.2(16) + 9.1

y = 5.9%

b) To find when the unemployment rate will be zero, we set the equation equal to zero:

0 = -0.2x + 9.1

-0.2x = -9.1

x = 45.5 months

So, rounding up, the U.S. would reach a zero unemployment rate in 46 months or around September 2014? Not completely sure.
