X - 9 = 3/5x
x - 0.6x = 9
0.4x = 9
x = 22.5
22.5 - 9 = 13.5

Therefore, Steven will have $13.50.
Im not entirely sure. You have to recheck this with someone else. Im having a brain fart right now lol

Total money * fraction = part
$x* \frac{3}{5} =9 \\ ( \frac{5}{3}) * \frac{3x}{5} = 9* \frac{5}{3} \\ x= \frac{45}{3} =15$

The Polygons below are similar find the value of x and y

Answer:

$x=49\degree,y=6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle $x$ corresponds to the complement of the $41\degree$ in the bigger triangle. See diagram in attachment.

This implies that,

$x=90-41=49\degree$

Also since the triangles are similar, the sides are in the same proportion.

This implies that,

$\frac{3y-8}{15}=\frac{4}{6}$

We multiply both sides by 15 to get,

$3y-8=\frac{4}{6}\times 15$

$\Rightarrow 3y-8=\frac{2}{3}\times 15$

$\Rightarrow 3y-8=10$

$\Rightarrow 3y=10+8$

$\Rightarrow 3y=18$

We divide through by 3 to get,

$y=6$

The correct answer is D

During the school fundraiser, lsaac sold tubs of cookies dough for $15 each. He made $165. Write an equation that could be used

gregori [183]

165\15= number of tubs

165 divided by 15 equals the amount of the tubs that he sold.

(I assume the two different name things, isaac&dominic, is a mistake since there isnt any information for Dominic)
