Answer:
200 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
First, set up the equations.
plan 1: initial fee of $55.96, $0.12 per mile
plan 2: initial fee of $63.96, $0.08 per mile
We want to know at what distance will the cost be the same. So, set the equations equal to each other.
0.12x + 55.96 = 0.08x + 63.96
Combine the variables.
0.04x + 55.96 = 63.96
Combine the constants.
0.04x = 8
Divide by 0.04 to isolate x.
x = 200 miles
Check by plugging x back into each equation.
y = 0.12(200) + 55.96
y = 24 + 55.96
y = $79.96
y = 0.08(200) + 63.96
y = 16 + 63.96
y = $79.96
You are correct!
15=pants
d less than pants means
15-d
5 of them
5(15-d)=cost of shirts
so total cost=15+5(15-d)
The answer is:
A. 10
This is because segment AB is parallel to segment DC, meaning they are the same length.
Hope this helps!
Division , timetable , adding , and subtracting
You don't say whether this is a right triangle or not.
Assuming it is a right triangle, then we use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse:
(hypo) = (length of third side) = √(12^2 + 4^2) = √(144+16) = √160 = 4√10.
This is approx. 12.65 inches. Since this does not match any of the possible answer choices, we'll have to take a different approach to answering this question.
Given that 2 sides of the given triangle are 12 and 4 inches, respectively, we see that the 3rd side has to be longer than 8 inches; otherwise we'd have three line segments on the same line, not forming a triangle.
By this reasoning, 9 inches is the only possible answer that could be correct. With sides 12, 9 and 4 inches, the triangle would be obtuse and appear quite flat, but not be part of a straight line as with a third side of 8.
