Suppose a group of x people rent a jeep for $80 for a trip to the beach and plan to share the cost equally. If one person in the

group decides not to go, each remaining person has to pay an extra $4. Which equation could be used to determine how many people are in the group?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a group of x people rent a jeep for 80 dollars.

Since they share the amount equally we have

each person share =\frac{80}{x}

When one person in the group decides not to go, each remaining person has to pay an extra 4 dollars.

i.e. now the share borne by each in the group would be

\frac{80}{x-1}

This is 4 dollars more than the original

Hence equation would be

\frac{80}{x-1}-\frac{80}{x} =4

This equation would be used to determine how many people are in the group.

Which expression can be used to find the area of the rectangle shown on the coordinate plane?
Naily [24]
Answer:

8 * 7

Explanation:

When you count the squares along the area, you will find that the base is 8 units, and the height is 7 units. The area of a square is equal to base * height, so the correct answer is 8 * 7.

The figure is a parallelogram. One diagonal measures 28 units.
Georgia [21]

Answer:

It is not a rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is a shape with 4 sides, such that we have two pairs of parallel sides, where the length of the parallel sides is equal.

so we have two parallel sides with length L and two parallel sides with length L'.

In this figure ,we can see two sides with length 20 and other two with length 21, and this is a rectangle only if the sides meet at 90°degree angles (this would mean that the opposite sides are parallel)

To see this, we can think that the triangle formed by the diagonal and two sides is a triangle rectangle, then using the Pythagorean theorem we should have that:

20^2 + 21^2 = 28^2

841 = 784

So this is not a triangle rectangle, meaning that the angle between the side of 20 and the side of 21 is not a right triangle, then the figure is not a rectangle.

Therefore, it is not a rectangle

Solve the inequality for x.
LiRa [457]

The solution to the inequality x-13<=7+4x is x >= -20/3

<h3>How to solve the inequality?</h3>

The inequality expression is given as:

x-13<=7+4x

Add 13 to both sides of the inequality

x <= 20 + 4x

Subtract 4x from both sides of the inequality

-3x <= 20

Divide both sides of the inequality by -3

x >= -20/3

Hence, the solution to the inequality x-13<=7+4x is x >= -20/3

Mr. Jones is taking his family to see a play. There are 10 people going to the play, and they
Ede4ka [16]
$13.10. This is because you multiply $5.50 x 2 due to the amount of cars which leaves you off with $11 total. Then you take away $11 from the total price of $142 which leaves you off with $131.00 from there you divide the amount of people going which is 10. So you’ll get 131/10 = $13.10
