If the lines are the same, the equations are dependent linear equations.
They can’t be similar. Similar triangles have congruent corresponding angles, and two angles are given on each. Neither of those correspond to another on the opposite triangle. Basically, there’s no way to have three congruent angles, so they aren’t similar.
Answer:
The number is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can answer the above question as follow:
The square of a number, x is written as: x²
Eight times the number is written as: 8x
From the question, we were told that the square of the number, x is 16 less than eight times the number. This can be written as:
x² = 8x – 16
Rearrange
x² – 8x + 16 = 0
Solving by factorisation method:
Multiply the 1st term (i.e x²) and the last term (i.e 16) together. The result is 16x² as shown below:
x² × 16 = 16x².
Next, find two factors of 16x² such that when we add them together, it will result to the 2nd term ( i.e – 8x).
The factors are –4x and –4x.
Next, replace – 8x in the equation with –4x and –4x. This is illustrated below:
x² – 8x + 16 = 0
x² – 4x – 4x + 16 = 0
Factorise
x(x – 4) – 4(x – 4) = 0
(x – 4)(x – 4) = 0
x – 4 = 0 or x – 4 = 0
x = 4 or x = 4
Thus, the number is 4.
***** Check *****
x² = 8x – 16
x = 4
4² = 8(4) – 16
16 = 32 – 16
16 = 16
The exponents distribute over factors:

so, you have

Let's focus on each factor: applying the definition of negative exponents, you have

While for the power of 10, you can use the following rule
to write

So, the expression evaluates to

Answer:
Part a) 2 toppings
Part b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a) How many toppings need to be added to a large cheese pizza from Poppy's Pizzeria and Geo's Pizza in order for the pizzas to cost the same?
Let
x -----> the number of topping
y ----> the total cost of a large cheese pizza
we know that
<em>Poppy's Pizzeria</em>
----> equation A
<em>Geo's Pizza</em>
----> equation B
Equate equation A and equation B

Solve for x



Part b) What would that cost be?
we know that
For x=2 toppings the cost is the same in both pizzerias
so
substitute the value of x in equation A or equation B
<em>Poppy's Pizzeria</em>


Verify the cost in the other pizzeria (must be the same)
<em>Geo's Pizza</em>
----> is ok
