Quite simple, actually...
So,
Brooke makes $28,150 per year...so..to find 5 years...take..
28,150*5=140,750, after 5 years, Brooke makes this much.
Also, for, Jake..take..
31,380*5=156,900
after 5 years, Jake makes this much.
To see how much Jake earns more than Brooke..take.
156,900-140,750=16,150
Jake earns $16,150 more than Brooke.
Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
BC/DC = EC/AC , substitute values
3x×5/32 - 5x-5/56 ( cross- multiply )
56(3x - 5) = 32(5x - 5) ← distribute and simplify both sides
168x - 280 = 160x - 160 ( subtract 160x from both sides )
8x - 280 = - 160 ( add 280 to both sides )
8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 15
I’m pretty sure the answer is C
