Answer:

77 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of books sold by Jessica be A and Josh be B.

Cost of one book = $20

Jessica sold 11 times Josh .

That’s A = 11B

Together they sold 84 books.

That’s A + B = 84

We now have two equations ,

Equation 1 : A = 11B

Equation 2: A + B = 84

Substitute 11B for A in equation 2.

We have ,

11B + B = 84

12B = 84

Divide both sides by 12

B = 84/12

B = 7

Josh sold 7 books

Now substitute 7 for B in either of the equations to get A. Using equation 1 , we have

A = 11B

A = 11 x 7

A = 77

Jessica sold 77 books while Josh sold 7

Answer: Jessica sold 77 books. Josh sold 7 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of books that Jessica sold.

Let y represent the number of books that Josh sold.

Together they sold 84 books. This means that

x + y = 84- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Jessica sold 11 times more books than Josh. This means that

x = 11y

Substituting x = 11y into equation 1, it becomes

11y + y = 84

12y = 84

y = 84/12

y = 7

x = 11y = 11 × 7

x = 77

Is segment ST tangent to circle P1
malfutka [58]

Answer:

B . Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: a tangent of a circle is perpendicular to the radius of a circle, forming a right angle at the point of tangency.

Therefore, if segment ST is tangent to circle P, it means that m<T = 90°, and ∆PST is a right triangle.

To know if ∆PST is a right triangle, the side lengths should satisfy the Pythagorean triple rule, which is:

c² = a² + b², where,

c = longest side (hypotenuse) = 37

a = 12

b = 35

Plug in the value

37² = 12² + 35²

1,369 = 1,369 (true)

Therefore we can conclude that ∆PST is a right triangle, this implies that m<T = 90°.

Thus, segment ST is a tangent to circle P.
