The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal, it is obtained by Pythagoras theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given are,

           From ΔABC,

                    AB= 6

                    BC= 10

                    AC = x

           From ΔDEC,

                    CD= 28

                    DE= 21

                    CE = y

Step:1

        Pythagoras theorem from  ΔABC,

                    BC^{2}=AB^{2} + AC^{2}...............(1)

       Substitute the values,

                   10^{2} = 6^{2} + AC^{2}

                  100 = 36 + AC^{2}

                   AC^{2} = 100 - 36

                           = 64

                    AC = \sqrt{64}

                    AC = 8

                  AC = x = 8

Step:2

        Pythagoras theorem for ΔDEC,

               CE^{2} = CD^{2}  + DE^{2}................(2)

       From the values,

              CE^{2} = 28^{2} + 21^{2}

             CE^{2} = 784 + 441

                     = 1225

              CE = \sqrt{1225}

              CE = 35

             CE = y = 35

Result:

         The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal.

-17-5(x+3)=3x plz help
katovenus [111]
  1. Start by distributing the -5 into the x and 3
  2. -17-5x-15=3x
  3. add like terms
  4. -5x-32=3x
  5. add 32 to both sides
  6. -5x=3x+32
  7. subtract 3x from both
  8. -8x=32
  9. divide both by -8
  10. x=-4

Mark achin sells 3,600 electric motors each year. the cost of these is $200 each, and demand is constant throughout the year. th
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Summary of information:
total output = 3600 units per year
split into 18 equal orders
cost per order = $40
cost to store a unit for one year = $20
lead time (i.e. storage before shipping) = 5 days

Solution:

quantity split into 18 orders, so 3600/18= 200 units per order.
Order cost = $40 * 18 orders = $720 ..........................(A)
Storage cost:
Each order has 200 units, stored for 5 days = 200*5=1000 unit-days
storage needed for 18 orders = 1000*18 = 18000 unit-days = 50 unit-years
Total storage cost = 50 unit-years * $20 / unit year = $1000...........(B)

Total ordering cost = (A) + (B) = $720+$1000 = $1720
