Answer: $x=50.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Side Splitter Theorem, when a line is parallel to a side of a triangle and it intersects the other two sides, these sides are divided proportionally.

Based on this, you can write the following proportion:

$\frac{MA}{AN}=\frac{MB}{BP}$

Observing the figure given in the exercise, you can identify that:

$MA=46.2-14=32.2\\\\AN=14\ cm\\\\MB=x\\\\BP=72.6-x$

Finally, you must substitute values into $\frac{MA}{AN}=\frac{MB}{BP}$ and solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

$\frac{32.2}{14}=\frac{x}{72.6-x}\\\\2.3=\frac{x}{72.6-x}\\\\(2.3)(72.6-x)=x\\\\166.98-2.3x=x\\\\166.98=x+2.3x\\\\\frac{166.98}{3.3}=x\\\\x=50.6$

The profit of a company receives is given by the expression 0.15(855p - 315) where p is the number of problems sold. Rewrite thi

Goryan [66]

The profit for 25 products sold and 150 products sold are 3159 and 19190.25 respectively.

Explanation

The profit of a company receives is given by the expression: $0.15(855p - 315)$

Simplifying this expression using distributive property, we will get .....

$0.15(855p - 315) \\ \\ = (0.15*855p)-(0.15*315)\\ \\ =128.25p-47.25$

So, the simplified expression for profit will be: $128.25p-47.25$

As $p$ represents the number of products sold, so for finding the profit for 25 products sold and 150 products sold, we need plug $p=25$ and $p=150$ separately into the above expression.
