Answer:

60ft

Answer:

C. 60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If triangles ABC and EDC are in a 1:1 relation, they are congruent, and  

    AC = EC

5x - 5 = 3x + 9

    5x = 3x + 14

    2x = 14

      x = 7

AC = 5x + 5 = 5(7) - 5 = 35 - 5 = 30 ft

EC = 3x + 9 = 3(7) + 9 = 21 + 9 = 30 ft

Distance between top and bottom of bridge = AC + EC = 30 + 30 = 60 ft

Maryland had $(62xsquared + x - 4) on mondays she spent $(11x squared - 33) on a pair of gloves how much money did she have left
Anton [14]

Answer:

$( 51x^2 + x + 29).

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount she had left = original amount - amount spent on the gloves

=  62x^2 + x - 4 - (11x^2 - 33)   (note we place the amount spent on gloves in parentheses because we have to subtract the whole amount)

Now we distribute the negative over the parentheses:

= 62x^2 + x - 4 - 11x^2 + 33     ( note - 33 becomes -33*-1 = +33)

Now simplifying like terms:

= 51x^2 + x + 29  (answer).

Complete each function table,then graph the function
babunello [35]

The y values from:

1. ₋6

2. ₋3

3. 0

4. 3

Given the x values and y value as y = 3x

1. when x = ₋2 then y = 3x

y = 3(₋2)

y = ₋6

2. when x = ₋1 then y = 3x

y = 3(₋1)

y = ₋3

3. when x = 0 then y = 3x

y = 3(0)

y = 0

4. when x = 1 then y = 3x

y = 3(1)

y = 3

therefore we get the points as (₋2 , ₋6) (₋1 , ₋3) (0,0) (1 , 3).The graph is pltted and attached.

10. Evaluate if: y = 4 and z = -2
Bas_tet [7]

Substitute with y = 4 and z = -2

= 4^2*(-2)/4 + 10

= 16*(-2)/4 + 10

= -32/4 + 10

= -8 + 10

= 2

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
