Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because the top and bottom lines are parallel, we can conclude that the 2 triangles (top and bottom) are similar triangles. This means the sides lengths of smaller triangle is proportional to the respective sides on the larger triangle. With this, we can form the following equation:

x/48 = 21/12 (multiply both sides by 48)

x = (21/12)· 48

x = 21 ·4

x = 84

James is playing his favorite game at the arcade. After playing the game 33 times, he has 88 tokens remaining. He initially had

zalisa [80]

Answer:

t = 64g

Step-by-step explanation:

This is quite straightforward

Let n be the number of tokens he is charged per game.

88 = 2200 - 33n

33n = 2200 - 88

33n = 2112

n = 2112/33 = 64

Now, we write the relation. The number of tokens t at any point in time is 64 multiplied by the number of games

t = 64g

The sum of three consecutive terms in an arithmetic sequence is 27, and their product is 585. find the three terms.

sammy [17]

$\text{the three consecutive terms in an arithmetic sequence}\\a;\ a+d;\ a+2d\\\\\text{system of equals}\\\\ \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a+a+d+a+2d=27\\a(a+d)(a+2d)=585\end{array}\right\\ \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3a+3d=27&|:3\\a(a+d)(a+2d)=585\end{array}\right\\ \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a+d=9&\to d=9-a\\a(a+d)(a+2d)=585\end{array}\right\\$
$\text{substitute to the second equation}\\\\a(a+9-a)(a+2(9-a))=585\\\\a(9)(a+18-2a)=585\\9a(18-a)=585\ \ \ |:9\\a(18-a)=65\\18a-a^2=65\ \ \ |\text{change the signs}\\a^2-18a=-65\\a^2-2a\cdot9=-65\ \ \ |+9^2\\\underbrace{a^2-2a\cdot9+9^2}_{(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2}=-65+9^2\\(a-9)^2=16\to a-9\pm\sqrt{16}\\a-9=-4\ \vee\ a-9=4\ \ \ |+9\\a=5\ \vee\ a=13\\\\d=9-5=4\ \vee\ d=9-13=-4$
