Answer:

BC = 144 units

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given a line segment BC.

D is the point on the line segment.

<u>To find the length of BC</u>

BC = 8x

CD = 3x + 8 and BD = 4x + 10

BC = CD + BD

8x = 3x + 8 + 4x + 10

8x = 7x + 18

x = 18

BC = 8x = 8 * 18 = 144 units

Therefore the length of segment BC = 144 units

Jim sells used drones for 70% of the original manufacturer's purchase price of a new drone. Jim also sells new drones for 15% mo

adell [148]

The function for the amount saved if they purchase a used drone rather than a new drone from Jim's store is f(x) = 0.45x

He sells used drones at 70% of the price (x).

So, the selling price of a used drone is:

$\mathbf{Used = 70\% \times x}$

Express percentage as decimal

$\mathbf{Used = 0.7 \times x}$

$\mathbf{Used = 0.7x}$

Also, he sells new drones at 15% more of the price (x).

So, the selling price of a new drone is:

$\mathbf{New= (1 + 15\%) \times x}$

Express percentage as decimal

$\mathbf{New= (1 + 0.15) \times x}$

$\mathbf{New= 1.15 \times x}$

$\mathbf{New= 1.15x}$

The amount saved is the difference between the prices of the drones.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Saved =New - Old}$

This gives

$\mathbf{Saved =1.15x- 0.7x}$

Subtract

$\mathbf{Saved =0.45x}$

Express as a function

$\mathbf{f(x) = 0.45x}$

Hence, the function for the amount saved is f(x) = 0.45x
