The quotient of 8 and b plus g in algebraic expression

If AB = 9, RS = 3, and SC = 5, find BC.<br> A) 5<br> B) 10<br> C) 13.5<br> D) 15

Ronch [10]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ ABC and Δ RSC are similar triangles, thus the ratio of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{BC}{SC}$ = $\frac{AB}{RS}$ , substitute values

$\frac{BC}{5}$ = $\frac{9}{3}$ = 3 ( multiply both sides by 5 )

BC = 5 × 3 = 15 → D

ASAP! GIVING BRAINLIEST! Please read the question THEN answer CORRECTLY! NO guessing. I say no guessing because people usually g

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not B because 7x^2 means multiplying the equation by seven. It isn't C because that would move the graph DOWN seven units. And it's not D because when it is in parenthesis like that, it means that it is a horizontal shift, not vertical.

Superman needs to save Lois from the clutches of Lex Luther. After flying for 15 seconds, he is 2100 meters from her. Then at 18

posledela

Part A

x = time in seconds that have gone by

y = distance in meters Superman is away from Lois

"After flying for 15 seconds, he is 2100 meters from her" means we have the point (x,y) = (15, 2100)

"at 18 seconds he is 1980 meters from her" tells us we have a second point (x,y) = (18,1980)

--------

Find the slope of the line through these two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (1980-2100)/(18-15)

m = (-120)/(3)

m = -40

The slope is -40 which means Superman is getting 40 meters closer each second. I.e, the distance is dropping 40 meters per second

--------

Use one of the points and the slope to find the y intercept b

y = mx+b

2100 = (-40)*15 + b

2100 = -600 + b

2100+600 = b

b = 2700

This is the starting distance Superman is away from Lois

--------

Since m = -40 and b = 2700, we know the y = mx+b equation becomes y = -40x+2700.

Replace x with s, replace y with m. We now have m = -40s+2700

---------

<h3>Final Answer: m = -40s+2700</h3>

============================================

Part B

Plug s = 6 into the equation we found for part A. Then simplify.

m = -40s+2700

m = -40*6+2700

m = -240+2700

m = 2460

---------

<h3>Final Answer: 2460 meters</h3>

The price of one vegetarian special lunch is $7 and price of one chicken special lunch is $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Price of one vegetarian special lunch = x

Price of one chicken special lunch = y

According to given statement;

21x+40y=467 Eqn 1

28x+36y=484 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 28

$28(21x+40y=467)\\588x+1120y=13076\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 21

$21(28x+36y=484)\\588x+756y=10164\ \ \ Eqn\ 4$

Subtracting Eqn 4 from Eqn 3

$(588x+1120y)-(588x+756y)=13076-10164\\588x+1120y-588x-756y=2912\\364y=2912$

Dividing both sides by 364

$\frac{364y}{364}=\frac{2912}{364}\\y=8$

Putting y=8 in Eqn 1

$21x+40(8)=467\\21x+320=467\\21x=467-320\\21x=147$

Dividing both sides by 21

$\frac{21x}{21}=\frac{147}{21}\\x=7$

The price of one vegetarian special lunch is $7 and price of one chicken special lunch is $8.
