Answer: The length of side RT and side NQ is 51 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Δ RST ≅ Δ NPT

RT=7x-5 , NQ= 5x+11

To find: RT =? and NQ=?

Solution:

Since, given triangles are congruent .And Congruent triangles have equal sides.

$\Delta RST$ ≅ $\Delta NPQ$

So,

RT= NQ = 7x-5 = 5x+11

Solving for x we get ,x = 8

RT =7x-5 = 7 × (8) - 5 = 51 units

NQ = 5x+11 = 5 × (8) + 11 = 51 units

7x + 5 = 5x + 11
2x + 5 = 11
2x = 6
x = 3

7(3) + 5
21 + 5 = 26

The average income, I, in dollars, of a lawyer with an age of x years is modeled with the following function: I = -425x^2 + 45,5

lord [1]

We are given

The average income, I, in dollars is

$I=-425x^2+45500x-650000$

(a)

now, we are given

average income is $275000

so, $I=275000$

now, we can set them equal

and then we can solve for x

$275000=-425x^2+45500x-650000$

$-425x^2+45500x-925000=0$

we will have to use quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-45500+\sqrt{45500^2-4\left(-425\right)\left(-925000\right)}}{2\left(-425\right)}:\quad \frac{-\sqrt{45500^2-1572500000}+45500}{850}$

$x=\frac{-45500-\sqrt{45500^2-4\left(-425\right)\left(-925000\right)}}{2\left(-425\right)}:\quad \frac{\sqrt{45500^2-1572500000}+45500}{850}$

we get

$x=27.28199$

$x=79.776$

we need to find youngest age

It means that we need to choose smallest value

so,

$x=27$ ............Answer

(b)

we are given

x=40

so, we can plug it and find I

$I=-425(40)^2+45500(40)-650000$

$I=490000$ ..............Answer
