Answer:
The equation for the amount of dollars pledged in total is f(M) = 2.00M + 7.25, and the amount for just Kiara is f(M) = 0.25M + 5.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount they pledge up front is a constant and therefore need to be added to the end of the equation. The amount per mile should be a variable amount. This gets multiplied by the M variable. So we start with the Kiara amount.
0.25 per mile = 0.25M
5.25 pledged = 5.25
Now put them together to get f(M) = 0.25M + 5.25
Do the same with Mark.
1.75 per mile = 1.75M
2.00 pledged = 2.00
Now put them together to get f(M) = 1.75M + 2.00
To get the final total, we add both equations together.
f(M) = 0.25M + 5.25 + 1.75M + 2.00
f(M) = 2.00M + 7.25
X = jane, y = jasmine, z = jocelyn
x + y + z = 56
x = 3z
y = 2z + 2
3z + 2z + 2 + z = 56
6z + 2 = 56
6z = 56 - 2
6z = 54
z = 54/6
z = 9 <==== jocelyn
x = 3z
x = 3(9)
x = 27 <=== jane
y = 2z + 2
y = 2(9) + 2
y = 18 + 2
y = 20 <=== jasmine
BO is double that of DO. In other words, BO is two times longer than DO. The answer is choice B
For example, if DO were 3 units long, then BO would be 6 units long (2*3 = 6). This works because the triangles DCO and BAO are similar triangles. The corresponding sides are in the same ratio or proportion to one another. The larger triangle (BAO) has sides that are twice as long as the smaller triangle's (DCO) corresponding sides.
Side note: we can prove the triangles to be similar using the AA (angle angle) similarity theorem. The first pair of angles are the vertical angles DOC and BOA which are congruent to each other.The second pair is CDB and ABD which are congruent by the alternate interior angle theorem.
