Answer:

The answer is x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Let we first name the Triangle as Δ ABC and ray BD as a bisector of ∠B

as shown in the figure below.

As ray BD is the bisector of angle B so, by Angle bisector theorem property we have

\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{AD}{DC}\\

∴ \frac{x}{12} =\frac{x-4}{9}

∴ \frac{x}{4} = \frac{x-4}{3}

∴ 3x = 4x -16

∴  x = 16  final answer

You purchase 26 parking hours that you can use the next month to park your food truck at the fair. Weekday hours park $2 per hou
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Number of week day hours purchased  is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of Parking hours purchased = 26 parking hours

Parking cost on weekdays = $2 per hour

Parking costs on weekends = $10 per hour

Total amount spent on parking =  $220.

To Find:

Number of week days purchased = ?

Solution:

Let  

The number of week days purchased be x

The number of weekends purchased be  y

We know that the total hours purchased is 26

So,

x+y = 26

y = 26-x------------------------------------------------------(1)

Now the total cost is 220

(Total number of weekdays X cost per weekday ) +(Total number of weekends + cost per weekend) =220

Substituting the values

=>x\times 2 + y \times 10 = 220

=>x \times 2 + (26-x) \times 10 =220

=>2x + 260 -10x =220

=>260 -8x = 220

=>260 -220 =8x

=>40 = 8x

=>x=\frac{40}{8}

x= 5-------------------------------------------(2)

Now substituting (2) in (1) we get

y= 26-5

y= 21
