(a) ET = 18 and WE = 12

(b) FA = 16/3

HF = 8/3

ET = 8

WE = 4

Explanation:

WT = 30 ( WE + ET = 30)

WE = 30 - ET

2FA = 3HF

FA = 3/2HF

WE =?, ET = ?

Line WH, EF and TA are parallel to each other.

(a)

ΔWTA and ΔWHA are congruent to each other

Therefore, by congruency

$\frac{WE}{ET} = \frac{HF}{FA}$

So,

30 - ET/ ET = HF / 3/2HF

30 - ET / ET = 2HF / 3HF

30 - ET / ET = 2/3

On solving the above equation we get, ET = 18

WE = 30 - ET

WE = 30 - 18 = 12

Therefore, ET = 18 and WE = 12

(b)

HA = 8 ( HF + FA = 8)

HF = 8 - FA

WT = 12 ( WE + ET = 12 )

WE = 12 - ET

GA = 2WG

HF, WA, WE, ET = ?

ΔWHA and ΔGFA are congruent

So,

$\frac{HF}{FA} = \frac{WG}{GA}$

8 - FA / FA = WG / 2 WG

On solving the above equation we get,

FA = 16/3

HF + FA = 8

HF + 16/3 = 8

HF = 8/3

ΔWTA and ΔWEG are congruent

So,

$\frac{WE}{ET} = \frac{WG}{GA}$

12 - ET / ET = WG / 2WG

On solving the above equation, ET = 8

WE = 12 - ET

WE = 12 - 8

WE = 4

Therefore, FA = 16/3

HF = 8/3

ET = 8

WE = 4

A total of 145 tickets were sold to a film showing bringing in a total of $1,153. Two types of tickets were sold: adult tickets

zalisa [80]

Supposing all were child tickets:
145x$5=$725
$1153-$725=$428 (diff. between above price and original price)
$9-$5=$4 (diff. between adult price and child price)
$428÷$4=107 (no. of adult tickets)

Ans: 107

Simone told you that she placed a point on the number line that had an absolute value of 15. At what two numbers could she have

makvit [3.9K]

I positive 15 and negative 15, in effect the absolute value function just removed negative signs

Use algebra to solve 3x+4 = 1/x The exact solutions are x= Х

skad [1K]

Answer:

Ignore the A before the ±, it wouldn't let me type it correctly.

$x=\frac{2±\sqrt{7} }{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4 = 1 ÷ x

3x + 4 - 4 = 1 ÷ x - 4

3x = 1 ÷ x - 4

$3x=\frac{1}{x} +\frac{x(-4)}{x}$

$3x=\frac{1+x(-4)}{x}$

$3x=\frac{1-4x}{x}$

$x(3x)=x(\frac{1-4x}{x})$

x · 3x = - 4x + 1

3x² = - 4x + 1

3x² - (- 4x + 1) = 0

3x² + 4x - 1 = 0

Ignore the A before the ±, it wouldn't let me type it correctly.

$x=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

a = 3

b = 4

c = - 1

$x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{4^{2}-4((3)(-1)) } }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{16-4((3)(-1)) } }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{16+12 } }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{28 } }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{(2)(14) } }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{(2)(2)(7) } }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{2 } \sqrt{2}\sqrt{7} }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±2\sqrt{7} }{2(3)}$

$x=\frac{-4±2\sqrt{7} }{6}$

Two separate equations

$x=\frac{-4+2\sqrt{7} }{6}$

$x=\frac{2+\sqrt{7} }{3}$

$x=\frac{-4-2\sqrt{7} }{6}$

$x=\frac{2-\sqrt{7} }{3}$
