Option D:

15c ≤ 200

Solution:

Let c be the number of cases of tea bags.

Cost of each tea bag = 15 gold coins

Total gold coins Mad have = 200

<u>Set up an inequality:</u>

Cost of c tea bags = 15 × c = 15c

Mad can buy tea bags at most 200 gold coins.

(At most 200 means 200 is the greater value)

15 × c ≤ 200

15c ≤ 200

Hence option D is the correct answer.

Help me please! which bisects the chord?

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

B. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are given that chord AB's length is 8 and is bisected by segment XC, that means segment BC's length is 4 and ∠XCB is a right angle. From there, we use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for length XC:

4² + b² = 5² (Or remember 3-4-5 makes a Pythagorean triple)

c = √(5²-4²)

c = 3

What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the given line x-2y=10?

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer: slope = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

X-2y=10

-2y=-x-10 subtract x from both sides

2y=x+10 divide by -1

y=<u>1</u> x + 5 Divide by 2

slope = 1/2

The drama club is selling tickets to a play for each ticket they sell the school receives x dollars and the drama club receives

bogdanovich [222]

The drama club receives $7 for each ticket that they sell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount received by school = x dollars

Amount received by school for 96 tickets = 96x

Amount received by drama club = remaining amount after school

Total amount of 96 tickets = 96x+672

Here,

96x is the share of school

672 is the share of drama club for 96 tickets.

Therefore;

96 tickets = dollars

1 ticket = $\frac{672}{96}$

1 ticket = 7 dollars

The drama club receives $7 for each ticket that they sell.

Two shapes are shown below, one isosceles triangle and one rectangle. The dimensions can be represented by algebraic expressions

liberstina [14]

Answer:

Perimeter of Isosceles Triangle = 16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle is given by the formula;

Area = 1/2 × base × height

From the diagram, base = 6x - 6 and height = 6x - 8

Thus,Area = 1/2 × (6x - 6) × (6x - 8)

Area = (3x - 3)(6x - 8) = 18x² - 42x + 24

Secondly, area of rectangle is given by;

Area = length x breadth

So, area of rectangle in question = (6x - 9)(3x - 2) = 18x² - 39x + 18

We are told both the area of the triangle and the rectangle are the same, so let's equate both areas;

18x² - 42x + 24 = 18x² - 39x + 18

18x² will cancel out and rearranging, we have;

24 - 18 = 42x - 39x

6 = 3x

x = 6/3

x = 2

Plugging 2 for x for the height and base of the triangle, we have;

base = 6(2) - 6 and height = 6(2) - 8

Base = 6 and height = 4

So,let's find the slant height of the isosceles triangle.

Dividing the base by 2,we have; 6/2 = 3

So,using Pythagoras theorem, let the slant height be h, so we have;

h² = 3² + 4²

h² = 9 + 16

h² = 25

h = √25

h = 5

2 slant sides of isosceles triangle are the same. So perimeter = 5 + 5 + 6 = 16 units
