Answer: the total number of coupon books sold is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of coupon books that Mario sold.

Let y represent the number of coupon books that Luigi sold.

Apparently, Mario is a much better salesperson, because he sold 4 times as many coupon books as Luigi. This is expressed as

x = 4y

If Luigi sold 12 fewer coupon books than Mario, the expression would be

x = y + 12 - - - - - - - - - - -- -1

Substituting x = 4y into equation 1, it becomes

4y = y + 12

4y - y = 12

3y = 12

y = 12/3

y = 4

x = 4y = 4 × 4

x = 16

The total number of coupon books that the two boys sold is

4 + 16 = 20

In the △ABC, the height AN = 24 in, BN = 18 in, AC = 40 in. Find AB and BC. Consider all possible cases. Case 1 : N∈BC, AB = __,

Answer:

Case 1:

AB = 30

BC = 50

Case 2:

AB = 15.9

BC = 36.7

Case 3: Not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for illustration of each case

Required

Find AB and BC

Case 1:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

AB^2 = AN^2 + BN^2

This gives:

AB^2 = 24^2 + 18^2

AB^2 = 576 + 324

AB^2 = 900

Take square roots of both sides

AB = \sqrt{900

AB = 30

To calculate BC, we consider ANC, where:

AC^2 = AN^2 + NC^2

40^2 = 24^2 + NC^2

1600 = 576 + NC^2

Collect like terms

NC^2 = 1600 - 576

NC^2 = 1024

Take square roots

NC = \sqrt{1024

NC = 32

So:

BC = NC + BN

BC = 32 + 18

BC = 50

Case 2:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

AN^2 = AB^2 + BN^2

This gives:

24^2 = AB^2 + 18^2

576 = AB^2 + 324

Collect like terms

AB^2 = 576 - 324

AB^2 = 252

Take square roots of both sides

AB = \sqrt{252

AB = 15.9

To calculate BC, we consider ABC, where:

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

40^2 = 252 + BC^2

1600 = 252 + BC^2

Collect like terms

BC^2 = 1600 - 252

BC^2 = 1348

Take square roots

BC = \sqrt{1348

BC = 36.7

Case 3:

This is not possible because in ANC

The hypotenuse AN (24) is less than AC (40)

The charge for a bicylce repair was $9.28 for parts, 1/4 hour of labor at $18 per hour, and a $2 shop fee. What was the total co
Bas_tet [7]
9.28 plus 2 is 11.28. 1/4 of 18 is 4.50. Add 4.50 to 9.28 and your total is $15.78.

The equation would be:
9.28+18(.25)+2=c

Which ordered pair will be the solution for the function y = 12 - x?
EastWind [94]
The answer should be (6,6), you can plug 6 in for both x and y in order to solve the function.

y=12-x
(6)= 12 - (6)
6=6

What is the value of x in the diagram below?
dusya [7]

we know that

the two triangles in the figure are similar, because they have three equal angles

therefore

The ratio of the corresponding sides are equal

\frac{x}{8}= \frac{18}{48} \\ \\x=(8*18)/48 \\ \\x=3\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is the option C</u>
