Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Question Image is attached.

Triangle BED and Triangle CFD are similar.

We can let the length of BD be 5x and DC 7x

We also know BC = 48, thus we can write:

5x + 7x = 48

12x = 48

x = 4

Now, Since DC = 7x, we plug in x = 4 into it.

DC = 7x

DC = 7(4)

DC = 28

Length of DC is 28

Answer:

What error did the salesman make?

The salesman made an error when convert 270 square feet to yards.

What should be the actual cost of the carpet?

The actual cost of the carpet is $360

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that:Tisha orders a carpet for a room that measures 270 square feet.

This means the room needs 270 square feet of carpet

But from the question, we know that the carpet is sold in square yards

We convert square feet to square yards

For our conversion rates

3 ft = 1 yard

9 ft² = 1 square yards(yd²)

270 ft² = x

Cross Multiply

9 ft² × x = 270ft² × 1 yd²

x yd²= 270ft² × 1 yd²/9 ft²

x = 30 yd²

Hence, 270ft² = 30yd²

Cost of carpet =

1 yd² = $12.00

30 yd² =

Cross Multiply

= 30 × $12.00

= $360.00

The actual cost of the carpet is $360

What error did the salesman make?

The salesman made an error when convert 270 square feet to square yards.

He said 270 square feet = 90 square yards

But he was wrong.

270 square feet = 30 square yards.

What should be the actual cost of the carpet?

The actual cost of the carpet is $360

9y^2-6y+1=0<br> FIND Y PLEASE HELP STEP BY STEP
dlinn [17]

Answer:

y = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Factor</u>

9y^2 - 6y + 1 = 0

(3y - 1)(3y - 1) = 0

(3y - 1)^2 = 0

<u>Step 2:  Solve for y</u>

3y - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

3y / 3 = 1 / 3

y = 1/3

Answer: y = 1/3
