Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Since angle KLJ~angle VWU are similar :
KL / WV = KJ/ UV
(25 / 20) = (4x - 23 / 2x + 2)
Cross multiply :
25(2x + 2) = 20(4x - 23)
50x + 50 = 80x - 460
50x - 80x = - 460 - 50
-30x = -510
x = 510 / 30
x = 17
Let the number be n
Part A- 2/3 + n = 2n+3
Part B- n= 2/3 -3
n= 2-9 / 3
n= -7/3 =-2.33
I = {2.666666667, 1.166666667
7 apples = 4.55
To find the single cost of an apple, divide 4.55 by 7
4.55/7 = 0.65 per apple
Let's check to see if this is right.
0.65 x 7 = 4.55 = correct
0.65 x 9 = $5.85 for 9 apples
