Answer:

y + c ÷ m = x

Step-by-step explanation:

You start of with:

y = mx - c

We can get rid of the + c by putting it on the other side. When a number goes to the other side it does the opposite, so the - will become a +. It will end up as:

y + c = mx

We just need x on itself so we need to get ride of m. In this sum, mx means that they are multiplying together, we need to make that divide. So we take m on the other side and make it divide. This brings us to x on itself.

(y+c) ÷ m = x

Hope this helps.

Kayla wants to find the width, AB, of a river. She walks along the edge of the river 90 ft and marks point C. Then she walks 72

Part a: The triangles ∆ABC and ∆EDC are similar by AA similarity rule.

Part b: The width of AB is 67.5 feet

Explanation:

Part a: We need to prove that the two triangles ABC and EDC are similar.

To prove the triangles are similar, then their angles must be similar.

Thus, we have,

∠DCE and ∠BCA are similar (vertical angles)

∠CDE and ∠CBA are similar (right angles)

∠B and ∠A are similar

Hence, the triangles ∆ABC and ∆EDC are similar by AA similarity rule.

Part b: We need to determine the width of AB

Since, the triangles are similar, then their corresponding lengths are proportional.

Thus, we have,

$\frac{DE}{AB} =\frac{DC}{CB}$

where $DE=54 ft$ , $DC=72 ft$ and $CB=90ft$

Substituting these values, we get,

$\frac{54}{AB} =\frac{72}{90}$

Multiplying both sides by 90, we get,

$\frac{4860}{AB}=72$

$\frac{4860}{72}=AB$

Dividing, we have,

$67.5=AB$

Thus, the width of the river AB = 67.5 feet

Someone came into a store and stole 100 dollars from the register. The person returned 5 minutes later and purchased 70 dollars

Nataliya [291]

Think of it this way. Ignore for now that $100 was stolen.

The purchase of the $70 item for $100 cash with $30 change is a perfectly fair purchase. The store received $100 cash, and the store gave $70 worth of merchandise plus $30 cash.There was no loss to the store there.

The fact that $100 in cash was stolen earlier from cash register means the loss is $100. The legitimate transaction does not affect the loss.

If you have a hard time understanding the loss is $100, then think of it this way.
Reverse the order of the two happenings.

A person walked into a store and bought a $70 item with a $100 bill. He received $30 change. So far, there is no loss to the store. Everything is legit.

That customer later came back to the store and stole $100 from the cash register.

Here we see clearly that the loss is exactly $100. It is simply the $100 stolen from the cash register.
