$699 is the total.

You have 2 items that you bought.

Divide $699 (the total cost) by 2 (the two items). Do this to figure out how much each of them will cost (approximately) separately.

Now you have each item costing $349.50.

But, they tell you your washer costs $51 LESS than your dryer did.

So you subtract $349.50 - $51 to get $298.50 for the washer.

Since you subtracted $51 dollars from the washer, add $51 to the dryer to even it out:

Dryer = $349.50 + $51

Dryer = $400.50

You know to add this $51 to the dryer’s cost after you subtract $51 of the washers cost because once you take away that $51 from the washer, you total cost for both items would have been $648. But, they tell you your total cost was $699, so you know you have to put that $51 lost somewhere else.

The dryer costs MORE than the washer, because they tell you the washer costs LESS then the dryer. So you add $51 dollars to the dryer after subtracting $51 of the washer’s cost to get:

dryer= $400.50.

699/2=349.50
349.50+51=400.50

THE DRYER COSTS $400.50

A 12 inch candle and an 18 inch Candle are lit at 6 p.m. The 12 inch candle burns 0.5 inches every hour. The 18 inch candle burn
Stella [2.4K]
18 - 2H = 12 - .5H
Combine the variables
18 - 2H + .5H = 12 - .5H + .5H
18 - 1.5H = 12
Combine the whole numbers
18 - 18 - 1.5H = 12 - 18
-1.5H = -6
Divide by -1.5
-1.5H/-1.5 = -6 / -1.5
H = 4
The answer is 4 hours

What is the area of triangle EDF?
Ann [662]

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

∠BAC ~ ∠EDF means that the triangles are similar. So the legs of the triangle share the same proportions, even if the sizes are different.

Since they share the same proportions, the same operations can be performed on each base to find the area.

The answer can be found with the knowledge that the area of a triangle is half of the height * width. You know the width of ∠BAC is 4, and the area is 8, so 16 (the area doubled) / 4 is the height. The width and height of ∠BAC are the same, and since the proportions are also the same, the width and height of ∠EDF are both 3. So the area is the width (3) times the height (3) divided by 2.

3*3 = 9

9/2 = 4.5

So the area is 4.5
