Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Choice C    (6)

Discussion:

Since it is an isosceles trapezoid the length of the two legs (i.e.  AB = 5y-10 and CD = 2y+8) are equal.  In other words,

5y - 10 = 2 y + 8

Subtract 2y from each side:

5y - 2y - 10 = 8

Now add 10 to each side

5y - 2y - 10 + 10 = 8 + 10 =>

3y + 0 = 18 =>

3y = 18 =>

y = 6


Regards,  

MrB

Answer:

x=2(twice)

y=0(twice)

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using substitution method

So let's solve

y=x+2....(1)

y=x2+5x+6....(2)

Substitute (1) into(2)

X+2=x2+5x+6

Collect like terms

X2+5x-x+6-2=0

X2+4x+4=0

X2+2x+2x+4=0

X(x+2)+2(x+2)=0

(X+2)(x+2)=0

X+2=0

Substrate 2 from both sides

X=-2

X+2=0

X=-2

Let's substitute the value of x into (1)

y=x+2

y=-2+2

Y=0(twice)

When working overtime, an auto mechanic gets paid 1.5 times the normal hourly wage. Overtime is the amount of time worked beyond
DedPeter [7]
So

x=hours
y=pay

use a piecewise function maybe

for x≤40, use y=21x


for x>40, use 840+1.5(21(x-40))


k, sso 46>40 so

840+1.5(21(46-40))
840+1.5(21(6))
840+1.5(126)
840+189
1029



A. 840+1.5(21(x-40))
B. $1029

guapka [62]

solution:

x(a_{x},b_{x})is midpoint of vz\\&#10;a_{x}=\frac{a_{v}+a_{z}}{2}=\frac{-12+22}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5\\&#10;b_{x}=\frac{b_{v}+b_{z}}{2}=\frac{0+0}{2}=0\\&#10;and,\\&#10;x(5,0)\\&#10;w(a_{w},b_{w}),v_{w} and w is on the right of v.\\&#10;a_{w}-a_{v}=5\\&#10;a_{w}-(-12)=5\\&#10;a_{w}+12=5\\&#10;a_{w}=5-12=-7\\&#10;w(-7,0)\\&#10;y(a_{y},b_{y})=20 and y is on the right of v.\\&#10;a_{y}-a_{v}=20\\&#10;a_{y}-(-12)=20\\&#10;a_{y}+12=20\\&#10;a_{y}=20-12=8\\&#10;y=(8,0)
