Answer:

MG = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles EML and EGF are similar thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{EM}{EG}$ = $\frac{EL}{EF}$ , and substituting values

$\frac{16}{5x+2}$ = $\frac{28}{126}$ ( cross- multiply )

28(5x + 2) = 2016 ( divide both sides by 28 )

5x + 2 = 72 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

5x = 70 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 14

Thus

EG = 5x + 2 = 5(14) + 2 = 70 + 2 = 72

Hence

MG = EG - EM = 72 - 16 = 56

Solve 6 over x minus 3 equals 3 over x for x and determine if the solution is extraneous or not

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

This is the equation that I interpreted:

6/(x) - 3 = 3/(x)

I have never worked with determining extraneous equations before, so I cannot answer the second part.

Please help!!! I will mark someone brainliest!

Answer:

a = 8, b = $\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the exponential function

f(x) = a $b^{x}$

To find a and b use the given coordinate points on the graph

Using (0, 8 ), then

8 = a $b^{0}$ [ $b^{0}$ = 1 ] , then

a = 8

f(x) = 8 $b^{x}$

Using (2, 18 ) , then

18 = 8b² ( divide both sides by 8 )

$\frac{18}{8}$ = b² , that is

b² = $\frac{9}{4}$ ( take the square root of both sides )

b = $\sqrt{\frac{9}{4} }$ = $\frac{3}{2}$

Thus

f(x) = 8 $(\frac{3}{2}) ^{x}$

Maria and Edwin have $23.00 each to spend at a book fair, where all students receive a 25% discount. They both want to purchase

KIM [24]

The way Maria calculates the final price of the book is correct. We know that the book normally sells for $26.50 plus a 10% sales tax. We also know that the students will receive an additional 25% discount. We must understand that the sales tax is applied to the discounted price. So first we will calculate 25% of 26.50 and subtract it from that amount. So the price will then be: (26.50 - 6.625). The price is now $18.34. Then to calculate the tax, it will be (10% * 18.34), so 1.834. We add this amount to the discounted price so: (18.34+1.834) = 20.12.

The final price of the book is $20.12 and Maria can get it and still save a little money
