Answer:

x = 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional:

x/(x+3) = 8/18

18x = 8(x +3) . . . . . multiply by 18(x+3)

10x = 24 . . . . . . . . subtract 8x

x = 2.4 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10

Joanna, Dana and Tracy shared some trail mix. Joanna ate 0.125 pound of trail mix, Dana ate 0.1 pound and Tracy ate 0.12 pound o

Anon25 [30]

We are given the following values:

0.125 pound

0.1 pound

0.12 pound

All values start with the same number which is 0.1, therefore the 0.1 is the smallest.

Next the two values are followed by 0.12, so 0.12 is the next smaller number.

So the largest number is 0.125.

Arranging from least to greatest amount of trail mix eaten:

Dana, Tracy, Joanna

Based on the graph below, what is the total number of solutions to the equation f(x) = g(x)?

Reika [66]

Answer:

The total number of solutions is one

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=-\frac{11}{3}x+ \frac{11}{3}$

$g(x)=x^{3}+2x^{2}-x-2$

To solve the system of equations equate f(x) and g(x)

$f(x)=g(x)$

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection points both graphs

Using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

The solution of x

$x=1$

There is only one point of intersection both graphs

therefore

The total number of solutions is one
