Answer:

Part 1) x=6.6\ units

Part 2) DE=16.2\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the value of x

we know that

Triangles CDF and FDE are similar

therefore

The ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

so

CD/FD=FD/DE

\frac{5}{9}=\frac{9}{2x+3} \\ \\5*(2x+3)=9*9\\ \\10x+15=81\\ \\10x= 81-15\\ \\10x=66\\ \\ x=6.6\ units

Part 2) Find the length of DE

DE=2x+3

substitute the value of x

DE=2(6.6)+3=16.2\ units

Which is the better buy? Find the unit rate for each meat. Show your work and explain reasoning.
KATRIN_1 [288]

You start by changing the fraction into a decimal.

4.5 lb. of ground beef= 16.11

6.25  lb. of ground turkey= 18.50

Next, you divide the amount they cost by the pounds to get the price per pound.

16.11÷4.5= 3.58

18.50÷6.25= 2.96

So, a pound of beef is $3.58, and a pound of turkey is $2.96.

The turkey is 62 cents less than the beef per pound.

That means the turkey is a better buy! :)


(Have a good day! :))

To equation solve 8 = h/-3 +19
Naya [18.7K]
8h/3+19
Move all terms to the left
8-(h/3+19)=0
Get rid of parentheses
-h/3-19+8=0
Multiply all terms by denominator
-h-19*3+8*3=0
Add all numbers and variables together
-1h-33=0
Move all terms containing h to the left all other terms to the right
-h=33
h=33/-1
h=-33
