Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using similar triangles theorem

In similar triangles, ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Let the point where a line cuts BC = D

Length (AB/BD) = length(AC/CD)

15/3x = 9/(2x-1)

Cross multiply

15(2x-1) = 9(3x)

Expand the brackets

30x -15 = 27x

Collecting like terms

30x-27x = 15

3x = 15

Divide through by 3

x= 15/3

x= 5

Given:

$m\angle L=m\angle Z=70^\circ$

$m\angle N=m\angle Y=90^\circ$

To find:

The value of $m\angle 1$ .

Solution:

In triangle XYZ,

$m\angle Y=m\angle N=90^\circ$ (Given)

$m\angle Z=m\angle L=70^\circ$ (Given)

$m\angle X+m\angle Y+m\angle Z=180^\circ$ [Angle sum property]

$m\angle 1+90^\circ+70^\circ=180^\circ$

$m\angle 1+160^\circ=180^\circ$

$m\angle 1=180^\circ-160^\circ$

$m\angle 1=20^\circ$

Therefore, the $m\angle 1$ is 20°.

Alton had $725 for Medicare, $3000 for state income tax, and $3100 for

ella [17]

Answer:

$\$6825$

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount deducted for Medicare = $725

Amount deducted for state income tax = $3000

Amount deducted for Social security = $3100

To find: Total amount deducted from Alton's pay for FICA last year

Solution:

Total amount deducted from Alton's pay for FICA last year = Amount deducted for Medicare + Amount deducted for state income tax + Amount deducted for Social security = $725+3000+3100$

On adding 725 and 3000, we get $725+3000=3725$

On adding 3725 and 3100, we get $3725+3100=6825$

So, amount deducted = $\$6825$
