Answer:

1 26/35

Step-by-step explanation:

Before subtracting, you must find the common denominator.

The lowest number 7 and 5 can both make is 35.

Now, we must convert the fractions.

15/7 = 75/35

2/5= 14/35

Now because we have the same denominator, we can subtract.

75/35

14/35= 61/35.

61/35= 1 26/35.

Now you can simplify your answer. 1 26/35 cannot be simplified so that's your answer.

If BC = 6 and AD = 5, find DC. 4 4.5 7.2

anygoal [31]

Answer:

The length of CD is 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle ABC and if BC = 6 units and AD = 5 units

we have to find the length of DC.

In ΔABC and ΔBDC

∠ABC=∠BDC (each 90°)

BC=BC (common)

∠C=∠C (Common)

By ASA rule, ΔABC≈ΔBDC

Therefore their corresponding sides are in proportion

$\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{BD}{AB}=\frac{CD}{BC}$

$\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{CD}{BC}$

Let CD=x units

$BC^2=(AC)(CD)$

$6^2=(AD+CD)CD$

$36=(5+x)x$

$36=5x+x^2$

$x^2+5x-36=0$

$x^2+9x-4x-36=0$

$x(x+9)-4(x+9)=0$

$(x-4)(x+9)=0$

x=4, -9

Distance can't be negative therefore

The length of CD is 4 units

Nathaniel purchases a one-year membership pass to an art museum. As a member, he receives a discounted entrance fee. The total c

wolverine [178]

It's a linear function with y-intercept = 12.

The slope-intercept form:

$f(x)=mx+b\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Let's read the coordinates of two points on the graph:

(2, 15) and (4, 18)

Substitute to the formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{18-15}{4-2}=\dfrac{3}{2}=1.5$

We have the equation of a line:

$\boxed{f(x)=1.5x+12}$

We need calculate the value of function for x = 1 and x = 20.

Substitute:

$f(1)=1.5(1)+12=13.5$

$f(20)=1.5(20)+12=30+12=42$

$12 is the "Fixed Fee", therefore the discounted entrance fee to the art museum is

$\$13.50-\$12.00=\$1.50$

The total cost is $42.00 after 20 visits.
