Answer:
All of these terms are dollar amounts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, x + y = 10 (where these numerals represent counts)
(1/2)x + (1/4)y = 4 (where (1/2), (1/4) and 4 are dollar amounts)
Let's eliminate y. To accomplish this, mult. the 2nd eq'n by-4, obtaining
-2x - y = -16, and then combining this with the 1st equation, as follows:
-2x - y = -16
x + y = 10
-------------------
-x = -6, or x = 6. This represents the number of pens purchased by Terrance.
Subbing 6 for x in the first equation, we get y = 4. This represents the number of pencils he bought.
($0.50)x + ($0.25)y = $4.00 (dollar amounts)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
yes congruent, by AAS
the angles are stating , w/ the little red lines that they are the same.. so we know two angles of the triangles are the same, and we also know that one side touching is the same. so yes.. AAS.
Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
( cross- multiply )
20(32 + ?) = 1760 ( divide both sides by 20 )
32 + ? = 88 ( subtract 32 from both sides )
? = 56
4500 - 2300 = 2200
They wish to get rid of 2200 employees
250(x) = 2200
Divide 2200 by 250
x = 8.8
It will take 8.8 years.
