Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Given : ΔABC ~ ΔDEC

By the property of similarity,

"Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional"

\frac{\text{AB}}{ED}=\frac{BC}{EC}=\frac{AC}{DC}

Since, \frac{\text{AB}}{ED}=\frac{AC}{DC}

\frac{42}{6}=\frac{x}{(32-x)}

6x = 42(32 - x)

6x = 1344 - 42x

6x + 42x = 1344

48x = 1344

x = \frac{1344}{48}

x = 28 units

Therefore, Option (A). x = 28 units will be the answer.

Explain how to use multiplication to find
Sindrei [870]

A fraction x/y is a ratio between two numbers x and y.

The ratio is preserved if both x and y are scaled up or down by the same number n.

This means you can obtain any fraction equivalent to x/y by multiplying both x and y by n, i.e. (n*x)/(n*y).

Then we have 1/4 = (2*1)/(2*4) = 2/8, for example.

I need help with this please the answers I can choose from are
STatiana [176]

Sum of interior angles of a △ = 180°

∴ ∠T + ∠V + ∠U = 180°

⇒ 37° + 63° + X° = 180°

⇒ X° + 100 = 180°

⇒ X° = 180° - 100°

⇒ X° = 80° (D).

How would you do a,b,c,and d
I am Lyosha [343]

a) You are told the function is quadratic, so you can write cost (c) in terms of speed (s) as

... c = k·s² + m·s + n

Filling in the given values gives three equations in k, m, and n.

28 = k\cdot 10^2+m\cdot 10+n\\21=k\cdot 20^2+m\cdot 20+n\\16=k\cdot 30^2+m\cdot 30+n

Subtracting each equation from the one after gives

-7=300k+10m\\-5=500k+10m

Subtracting the first of these equations from the second gives

2=200k\\\\k=\dfrac{2}{200}=0.01

Using the next previous equation, we can find m.

-5=500\cdot 0.01+10m\\\\m=\dfrac{-10}{10}=-1

Then from the first equation

[tex]28=100\cdot 0.01+10\cdot (-1)+n\\\\n=37[tex]

There are a variety of other ways the equation can be found or the system of equations solved. Any way you do it, you should end with

... c = 0.01s² - s + 37

b) At 150 kph, the cost is predicted to be

... c = 0.01·150² -150 +37 = 112 . . . cents/km

c) The graph shows you need to maintain speed between 40 and 60 kph to keep cost at or below 13 cents/km.

d) The graph has a minimum at 12 cents per km. This model predicts it is not possible to spend only 10 cents per km.

Solve for the value of the variable: 7x+ 10 = 4x + 16<br> Enter the answer
IRISSAK [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 10 = 4x + 16

3x + 10 = 16 (subtract 4x on both sides)

3x = 6 (subtract 10 on both sides)

x = 2 (divide 3 on both sides)
