Solve. 3/ k+3 = 8/ k-2 A.) k= -1 B.) k= 1 C.) k= -6 D.) k= 6

1 answer:

6 0

3/k+3=8/k-2
butterfly (multiply 8 and k+3) and (multiply 3 and k-2) and set them = to eachother
8 (k+3)=3 (k-2)
distribute
8k+24=3k-6
-3k both sides
5k+24=-6
-24 both sides
5k=-30
÷5 both sides
k=-6

You can divide other shapes into triangles. Then you use what you know about the similar or congruent angles/sides (depending on your question) to determine congruency/similarity between other shapes.

A box is contructed out of two different types of metal. the metal for the top and bottom, which are both square, costs $3 per s

zysi [14]

Let x ft be the length of the base square and y ft be the height of the box.

The volume of the box is

$V=x\cdot x\cdot y\ ft^3.$

Since the box has a volume of 15 cubic feet, then

$x^2y=15,\\ \\y=\dfrac{15}{x^2}.$

You need to construct two squares from the metal that cost $3 per square foot.

The area of each square is $x^2\ ft^2$ and the total cost for these two squares is $2\cdot x^2\cdot 3=6x^2.$

The area of each side face is $x\cdot y=x\cdot \dfrac{15}{x^2}=\dfrac{15}{x}.$ Then the total cost for sides is $4\cdot \dfrac{15}{x}\cdot 10=\dfrac{600}{x}.$
