3 minutes - 2 minutes = 1 minute

30 gallons - 12 gallons = 18 gallons

it is draining at 18 gallons per minute

equation would be: y = -18x

Which of the following represents a true statement?

larisa [96]

<h3>Answer: Statement B in the lower left corner</h3>

When you raise an exponential expression to another exponent, you multiply the exponents. We have 8*5 = 40 as the final exponent. The rule is (x^y)^z = x^(y*z). The base stays the same.

Statement A is not true because we should be adding the exponents. The rule is x^y*x^z = x^(y+z). Note how the bases are all the same. We'll use this rule for statement C to show that it is also false.

A similar rule is (x^y)/(x^z) = x^(y-z). We subtract the exponents this time. This rule is used to show that statement D is false.

Find value of x, show your work

Zina [86]

Here is your answer

$\huge x=\frac{35}{2}cm= 17.5cm$

REASON :
AB//CD

So,

/_A=/_D ... (alternate int. angles)

/_B=/_C ... (alt. int. angles)

So,

Tri.ABE~Tri.DCE... (by AA similarity)

Therefore,

Corresponding sides are proportional

i.e.

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

$\frac{5}{x}=\frac{4}{14}$

$x=\frac{5×14}{4}$

$x=\frac{5×7}{2}$

$x=\frac{35}{2}$

Daniela sells handmade purses for $22. She

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

6 purses

Step-by-step explanation

1. Subtract 71 from 161 as that's how much Daniela needs to make to have 161, which is 90

2. Divide 15 by 90 as 15 is the profit, so the answer would be the amount of purses she needs to sell, then you get 6

Check

6 times 15, 90

71 + 90 = 161
