Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
We equate both the y's and solve for x algebraically:

Now taking the value x= 14 and putting it in the 1st equation would give us y:

Hence the solution is (14,8), answer is D
Answer:
22 rides
Step-by-step explanation:
Both the parks has a fixed cost (admission fee) and a variable cost (per ride cost). We can model 2 equations in "x" [let x be number of rides], equate them and find "x".
<u>Playland Park:</u>
Fixed Cost = 7
Variable Cost = 0.75x (in dollars)
Equation = 7 + 0.75x
<u>Funland Park:</u>
Fixed Cost = 12.50
Variable Cost = 0.50x (in dollars)
Equation = 12.50 + 0.50x
Now we equate and solve for x:

Hence,
the cost would be same for both parks for 22 rides
ΔACB and ΔMNB are similar. Therefore the corresponding sides are in proportion:

Substitute:

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Area of a right triangle, (as any other triangle), is calculated as: 
Area of a rectangle is calculated as: 
Area of a right trapezoid is:
, where:
a is short base
b is long base
h is height
1) Expressing areas in terms of x:
Area of triangle S1:


Area of rectangle S2:


Area of trapezoid S3:



2) a) 


Which is the same as S = (2x-3)(5x-9)
b) For the areas to be the same:




Using Bhaskara to solve the second degree equation:

= 1.8
= 1.5
For the areas of AFGC and ADEB to be equal, x has to be 1.5 or 1.8.
c) <u>Expand</u> <u>a</u> <u>polynomial</u> (or equation) is to multiply all the terms, remiving the parenthesis. <u>Reduce</u> <u>a</u> <u>polynomial</u> (or equation) is to combine terms alike,e.g.:

(expand)
(reduce)
d) For area of AFCG to be bigger than area of ADEB by 27:



Solving:


2.82
= 0.48
According to the enunciation, x cannot be less than 1.5, then, the value of x so that area AFGC exceeds the area ADEB by 27 is 2.82
