Answer:

C. 126

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a diagram. We are asked to find the length of AC.

We can see that triangle CDE is similar to triangle CBA.

We know that corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional, so we can set an equation as:

\frac{140-x}{x}=\frac{81}{9}

\frac{140-x}{x}*x=\frac{81}{9}*x

140-x=9x

Switch sides:

9x=140-x

9x+x=140-x+x

10x=140

\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{140}{10}

x=14

\overline{AC}=140-x

\overline{AC}=140-14

\overline{AC}=126

Therefore, the length of line segment is 126 and option C is the correct choice.

Write the equation of the line with x-intercept -2 and y-intercept -1 in slope-intercept form
eduard

The x-intercept of -2 gives us an idea that point (-2,0) if found along the line. The y-intercept of -1, tells us that point (0,-1), this also tells us that b = -1.

Now that we have two points, we can solve for slope m

\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \text{Given two points} \\ (-2,0)\rightarrow(x_1,y_1) \\ (0,-1)\rightarrow(x_2,y_2) \\  \\ \text{Substitute} \\ m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{-1-0}{0-(-2)} \\ m=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

Now that we have both m and b. Substitute these values to the slope intercept form

\begin{gathered} \text{Slope intercept form is} \\ y=mx+b \\ \text{where} \\ m\text{ is the slope} \\ b\text{ is the y-intercept} \\  \\ \text{Substitute the values from before and we get} \\ y=-\frac{1}{2}x-1 \end{gathered}

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a t
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The weight of large and small box are 18.25 kg and 13.25 kg respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of large and small box are x and y respectively.

It is given that a delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a total weight of 131 kilograms.

5x+3y=131                .... (1)

A delivery of 2 large boxes and 6 small boxes has a total weight of 116 kilograms.

2x+6y=116                .... (2)

On solving (1) and (2) using graphing calculator, we get

x=18.25

y=13.25

Therefore the weight of large and small box are 18.25 kg and 13.25 kg respectively.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

$34.40

Step-by-step explanation:

this equation has 3 steps

1. to find out how much the dvds cost without any discount or tax: $40

2. the price of the dvds with the 20% discount, which can be found with cross-multiplication making the price after discount $32

3. the final price of the dvds with sales tax can be found also with cross-multiplication and the final answer would be 34.4
