Answer:
K=8
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar so you can set up the porpotions: 3/6=4/k then you cross multiply and solve for k
Check the picture below. Recall your SOH CAH TOA.
First you have multiply 6 by both 3x and 8
6*3x = 18x
6*8= 48
18x + 48 + 32 + 12x
now combine like terms
18x + 12x = 30x
48 + 32 = 80
so 30x + 80 is your answer
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x-6)=2(x+3)
multiply
5*x and 5*6. 2*x and 2*3
5x-30=2x+6
minus 5x and 2x
3x-30=6
add 30 to 6
3x=36
divide both sides by 3 and the 3x cancels so 36÷3
x=12
We can create equations to solve this.
2.50p + 1.50m = 29.50
p + m = 15
Solve for a variable in the 2nd equation and use the substitution method to solve.
p + m = 15
Subtract p to both sides:
m = -p + 15
Plug in -p + 15 for m in the first equation.
2.50p + 1.50(-p + 15) = 29.50
Distribute:
2.50p - 1.50p + 22.50 = 29.50
Combine like terms:
p + 22.50 = 29.50
Subtract 22.50 to both sides:
p = 7
Now plug this into any of the two equations and solve for the other variable.
p + m = 15
7 + m = 15
Subtract 7 to both sides:
m = 8
So he purchased 7 pineapples and 8 mangos.
