Answer - 20a + 24b because 8 is added to both variables.
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
if ABC ~ DEF than AB ~ ED, AC ~ DF, and CB ~ FE
The ratio of AB to ED is given as 5/30 = 1/6
For AC ~ ED the ratio would be same x/42 = 1/6 cross multiply it
6x = 42
x = 7

Answer:
The equation should be 8 (x minus 2.75) = 78, and she needs to sell each necklace for $12.50.
Step-by-step explanation:
The contribution margin of each necklace is the difference between its selling price (x) and its cost (2.75). Then the total profit from 8 necklaces would be ...
8(x -2.75)
If Rita wants that profit to be $78, then she needs to solve the equation ...
8(x -2.75) = 78 . . . . correct equation
The solution is ...
x -2.75 = 9.75 . . . . divide by 8
x = 12.50 . . . . . . . . add 2.75
She needs to sell each necklace for $12.50.
