Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The big triangle is similar to smaller one so we can use the side lengths' proportion to find x:
7/4 = (x-3)+8/8
7/4 = (x+5)/8 cross multiply expressions
56 = 4x + 20 subtract 20 from both sides
36 = 4x divide both sides by 4
9 = x
It is a whole number, and is positive
34,999 for the largest and 25,001 for the smallest, if you go to that 1 person extreme.
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
y = azaleas
x = lilies
6y + 5x =196 total cost
y + x = 36 total number of items
y = 36 – x
6(36 -x ) +5x =196
216 – 6x + 5x = 196
-x = 196 – 216
-x = -20
Divide by -1
X = 20 lilies
Plug into y equation
Y = 36 – 20
Y= 16 azaleas
To check
6(16) + 5(20) = 196
96 + 100 = 196
Answer:
270 degrees because 1/4 of a circle is 90 degrees
