Answer:

<h2>x = 10</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangles are similar, then the corresponding sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{20}{20+8}=\dfrac{3x}{4x+2}

\dfrac{20}{28}=\dfrac{3x}{4x+2}

\dfrac{20:4}{28:4}=\dfrac{3x}{4x+2}

\dfrac{5}{7}=\dfrac{3x}{4x+2}                 <em>cross multiply</em>

5(4x+2)=(7)(3x)        <em>use distributive property </em><em>a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>

(5)(4x)+(5)(2)=21x

20x+10=21x             <em>subtract 20x from both sides</em>

10=1x\to x=10

Anarel [89]

We know that

• The new charge was $0.50 to mail a letter weighing up to 1 ounce, and $0.21 for each additional ounce.

Based on the given information, the expression is

y=0.50+0.21x

Where <em>x</em> represents additional ounces, and <em>y</em> represents a cost.

<h2>Hence, the function is</h2>f(x)=0.21x+0.50

a force of 2 pounds is needed to stretch a spring 8 inches.what force is required to stretch the spring 16 inches
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Four (4) pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we required two (2) pounds to stretch the spring eight (8) inches, we need double the force to stretch it sixteen (16) inches. Sixteen is just double the original amount, meaning we need four (4) pounds to stretch the spring sixteen inches.

Hope this helps!
