Answer:
x = 12
y = 12√3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1. y=-x-3 2.y=1/3x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 3x+3y=-9
3y=-3x-9
y=-x-3
2. x-3y=12
-3y=-x+12
y=1/3x-4
Answer:
E. 55 hours.
Step by step:
Multiple $15x40, equals $600
Subtract $600 from $937.50, equals $337.50
50% more over 40 hours is $22.50
Divide $337.50 by $22.50, equals 15
Add 15 to 40, equals 45
So she worked 55 hours to get paid $937.50
So what we're dealing with here is a similar triangle situation. Since ML is a midsegment, that means that IL and LJ are congruent. So, IL=LJ=13. This means that the whole side IJ is 26 (13+13=26). We also know that triangle IML and triangle IKJ are similar triangles, so their sides are proportional. This means that we can set up the ratio:
12/13 = x/26
and solve for x.
After multiplying 26 to both sides of the equation, we find that x=24, so KJ=24.
