I suppose both triangles are similar.
The ratio of 2 sides in a triangle is the same ratio of the corresponding 2 sides in the second similar triangle.
Which means,
AB / AC = LM / LN
now we can substitute the given values in
5 / (x + 5) = 10 / (3x + 3)
Use the cross method to solve this.
10(x+5) = 5(3x+3)
10x + 50 = 15x + 15
50 - 15 = 15x - 10x
35 = 5x
X = 7
Now we know the value of x is calculate the length of AC
AC = 7 + 5
Therfore the answer is 12

PLEASE I NEED THIS FAST there are 3 denominations of bills in a wallet: $1, $5, and $10. there are 5 fewer $5-bills than $1-bill

Natalija [7]

The number of $1, $5 and $10 are 49, 44 and 22 respectively.

<h3>How to use equation to find the number of bills?</h3>

There are 3 denominations of bills in a wallet: $1, $5, and $10.

There are 5 fewer $5-bills than $1-bills.

let

x = number of $1 bills

Hence,

number of $5 bills = x - 5

There are half as many $10-bills as $5-bills.

number of $10 bills = 1 / 2 (x - 5)

Therefore,

x + x - 5 + 1 / 2 (x - 5) = 115

2x - 5 + 1 / 2 x - 5 / 2 = 115

2x + 1 / 2 x - 5 - 5 / 2 = 115

5 / 2 x - 7.5 = 115

2.5x = 115 + 7.5

x = 122.5 / 2.5

x = 49

Number of $1 bills = 49

Number of $5 bills = 49 - 5 = 44

Number of $10 bills = 1 / 2 (49 - 5) = 22

The table gives the average age of airplanes per airline at Camila’s local airport. By what percent is the number of airlines wi

VladimirAG [237]

The percentage that the number of airlines with an average airplane age of 14 is less than the number of airlines with an average airplane age of 11 is:

B. 20%.

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

$P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%$

The percentage of airlines with an average age of 14 years is:

$P = \frac{2}{15} \times 100\% = 13.33\%$

The percentage of airlines with an average age of 11 years is:

$P = \frac{5}{15} \times 100\% = 33.33\%$

The difference is:

33.33% - 13.33% = 20%.

Hence option B is correct.

Bill drove his car at a constant speed while on a trip. Kevin drove his car at a different constant speed while on the same trip

Step2247 [10]

I thought to say the second sentence because it says that he’s going at a different constant speed but he doesn’t say compared to who... I’m leaning more to the last sentence.
What do you think?
