If triangles PQR and STU are similar then PQ corresponds to ST and PR corresponds to SU. Therefore, PQ/ST=PR/SU
Considering that, PQ= 7-x, ST= 13-x, PR= x²+5 and SU= x² +20
therefore, (7-x)/(13-x)= (x²+5)/(x²+20) 
               cross multiplying,
         7x² +140-x³+20x =13x²+65-x³-5x
combining the like terms,
          6x² +15x -75=0
          solving for x,
    x = 5/2 or -5

40mph for Car B I think. 45mph for Car A. 45(mph) times 4(h) is 180(distance) and 40 times 4.5 is also 180. Sorry if I'm wrong.

Carson needs to lease out a music studio to record his new album. The studio charges an initial studio-use fee plus an hourly fe
Naily [24]

Answer:

The y-intercept of the equation is 100 and represents the initial studio-use fee.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, our t variable (time) is the equivalent of the x-variable on a graph. This is because it is the variable that we 'change' to see its impact on y. We see how the amount of hours affects the price. So our P variable (price) is the equivalent of y on a graph. The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis on a graph. At this point, x=0.

Since P is our y, and t is our x, to find the y-intercept, we simply need to make t = 0.

P = 50(0) + 100

P = 100

Therefore the y-intercept is 100.

In this context, t represents time, so even though the studio has been used for 0 hours, the price is still 100. This is because the 100 represents the initial studio-use fee, and using it for certain amounts of time adds onto the initial fee of $100. The hourly fee is represented by 50t so it costs $50 more for each hour of use.

Hope this helped!
