The given trapezoid will have the sides ST, TV, VU, and US. Each of these can be assigned as base or legs. By this, it can be deduced that the given sides, SV and TU are the diagonals. Because the trapezoid is isosceles, the values of SV and TU should also be equal.

                                   SV = TU
                                 3x - 11 = x + 13

Transpose the terms with x and the constants in each sides of the equation.
 
                               3x - x = 13 + 11
                                   2x = 24
                                    <em> x = 12</em>

Thus, the value of x from the equation is 12.

blsea [12.9K]
Let x represent the amount of lawn mowers that were manufactured

The company has to pay $34,816 before they even make any lawn mowers plus $388 per lawn mower.

((34816+388x)/x)=660
34816+388x=660x
34816=272x
X=128

Therefore, there were 128 lawn mowers manufactured

You work forty hours a week at a furniture store. You receive a 1,200 dollar weekly salary, plus a 4.1% commision on sales over
Pachacha [2.7K]
If you call x the total value of the sales, the sale over 12,000 will be: g(x) = 12,000 - x.

And the commission is 4.1% of that = 0.041 * (12,000 - x) = 0.041 * g(x)

So, if  f(x) = 0.041x, to calculate the commission you first have to calculate g(x) = 12,000 - x, and the f(g(x))=0.041[12,000 - x].

Which leads you to the solution for the commission as [f o g] (x) = f (g(x)) = 0.041 (12,000 - x).

Answer: [ f o g] (x)

Help me with the right answer
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

9x - y = 26  ---------------(I)

9x + y = 28 ---------------(II)

9x - y = 26

9x = 26 + y

Substitute 9x = 26 + y in equation (II)

26 + y + y = 28               {add like terms}

26 + 2y = 28             {subtract 26 from both sides}

         2y = 28 - 26

        2y = 2    {divide both sides by 2}

           y = 2/2

y = 1

Substitute y =1 in equation (I)

9x - 1 = 26

9x = 26 + 1

9x = 27

x = 27/9

x = 3

x = 3

y = 1
