Answer:

5. x = -1

6. x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5. AB = 5

BC = 2x + 6

AC = x + 10

AB + BC = AC (segment addition postulate)

5 + 2x + 6 = x + 10 (substitution)

Collect like terms

5 + 6 + 2x = x + 10

11 + 2x = x + 10

2x - x = - 11 + 10

x = -1

6. AB = 9x + 7

BC = -3x + 20

AC = 39

AB + BC = AC (segment addition postulate)

(9x + 7) + (-3x + 20) = 39 (substitution)

Solve for x

9x + 7 - 3x + 20 = 39

Collect like terms

9x - 3x + 7 + 20 = 39

6x + 27 = 39

Subtract 27 from both sides

6x + 27 - 27 = 39 - 27

6x = 12

Divided both sides by 6

6x/6 = 12/6

x = 2

Out of 600 seniors at a local high school, 60% went on the senior trip. At the hotel, one room was reserved for every 4 students
butalik [34]

Given:

Total number of senior students = 600

60% went on the senior trip.

One room was reserved for every 4 students.

To find:

The total number of reserved rooms.

Solution:

60% went on the senior trip from total 600 students. So, number of students who went on tripe is

600\times \dfrac{60}{100}=360

Now, one room was reserved for every 4 students. So,

\text{Required number of rooms}=\dfrac{\text{Number of students who went on tripe}}{\text{Number of students in room}}

\text{Required number of rooms}=\dfrac{360}{4}

\text{Required number of rooms}=90

Therefore, the required number of reserved rooms were 90.
