The answer is A because of base times height
I think the answer would be be C.
Answer:
x=19
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the right triangle is
P=9+12+15 =36
The perimeter of the left triangle is
P =x-7+ x-7+ x-7 = 3x-21
Set them equal
36 = 3x-21
Add 21 to each side
36+21 = 3x-21+21
57 = 3x
Divide each side by 3
57/3 = 3x/3
19 =x
Let the number of sodas sold be x and the number of hotdogs sold be y. We can assemble a system of equations from the information given and solve.
x+y=170 (We know that soda + dogs is 170)
x-50=y (We know that dogs is equal to 50 less than sodas)
We can use substitution to solve this system of equations.
x+y=170
Sub in the value of y from the second equation
x+(x-50)=170
2x-50=170
2x=220
x=110
We now know the number of sodas sold was 110. Lets now plug this value into the equation to solve for y.
x+y=170
110+y=170
y=60
So, there were 60 hotdogs sold and 110 sodas sold.
