Assuming that both triangles are an exact copy of one another, it is safe to assume that 3y-7 is equal to 41. Set up an equation
3y-7=41
Add 7 to both sides
3y=48
Divide both sides by 3
y=16
Now to find PN.
Based on what we know, we can assume that MP = PN. Let's make some equations!
MP = 17x-8 PN = 11x+4
17x-8 = 11x+4
Subtract 11x from both sides
6x-8 = 4
Add 8 to both sides
6x = 12
Divide by 2
x=2
Substitute 2 in for x in the equation for PN
11(2)+4
Multiply 11 by 2
22+4 = 26
PN = 26
Answer:
a. C = 12x + 110; b. $290
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The polynomial
Let L = cost of flip-flops
and S = cost of sandals
Then
C = L + S
= 40 + 4x + 70 + 8x
= 12x + 110
b. The cost
C = 12 × 15 + 110
= 180 + 110
= $290
The cost of making 15 flip-flops and 15 sandals is $290.
Answer:
B (2.5, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - y = 5 (multiply all by 4)
8x- 4y = 20
-8x - 4y = - 20
eliminate the 4y
8x- 4y = 20
-8x - 4y = - 20
-------------------- –
16x = 40
x = 40/16 = 2.5
now we substitute x with 2.5
2x - y = 5
2(2.5) - y = 5
y = 0
