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

What is a formula for the nth term of a given sequence
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

a_n=-12-4(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is

-12,-16,-20...

The first term of this sequence is a_1=-12.

The common difference is

d=-16--12

d=-16+12=-4

The nth term of this arithmetic sequence is;

a_n=a_1+d(n-1)

We substitute the values for the first term and the common difference to obtain;

a_n=-12-4(n-1)

(Set up and solve the system, then answer the associated question)
Dimas [21]

Answer:

  • red division: 6 teams
  • blue division: 5 teams

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let r and b represent the numbers of teams in the red and blue divisions, respectively. The total number of goals scored in each division will be the average for that division times the number of teams in that division.

  r - b = 1 . . . . . . there is 1 more red team than blue

  4.5r +4.2b = 48 . . . . . . total goals scored per week

__

Solving by substitution, we have ...

  r = b +1

  4.5(b +1) +4.2b = 48 . . . . substitute for r

  8.7b +4.5 = 48 . . . . . . . . simplify

  8.7b = 43.5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4.5

  b = 43.5/8.7 = 5 . . . . . divide by 8.7

  r = b +1 = 6 . . . . . . . . . find r

There are 6 red teams and 5 blue teams.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The basic idea is that you make an equation for each relation given in the problem statement. For a problem like this, you do need to have an understanding of how the average number of goals would be calculated and how that relates to the total goals.

Josh sold his bike for 10% less than he paid for it. IF he sold the bike for 585 how much did he pay for it?
tangare [24]

Answer:

To know how much he bought it for, let's consider the actual amount it be x.

Step-by-step explanation:

10% of x + $585 = x

x/10 + $585 = x

$585 = x-x/10

$585= 9x/10

9x=$5850

x=$5850/9

x=$650

.: the actual price was $650.
